      Depending on whose blood it is, it could be pretty cool. Some rando’s blood? Gross. Gamer girl blood? Excellent heat conductor.

        But if the gamer girl can’t perfectly pass a True Gamer’s exam of 125 extremely specific questions, then they are a fake gamer and the PC will burst into flames. /s

    Never mind that ‘infusing’ can mean basically anything - I still think it reflects an off-putting attitude towards our bodies. The concept itself seems immature and gross. If it makes people donate blood, it’s hard to actually oppose it though.

      Dollars to donuts, they’re going to put a drop of pasteurized pig blood in the paint and then dye the coolant red.

      It def seems like a bit of a biohazard, but what’s off-putting about it otherwise? If the blood is sterilized well and there is not much of it its more of a cool talking point then anything

    Not gonna lie, that sounds slightly illegal (likely isn’t?) and also slightly disgusting. Like, I’d probably dig the esthetic, but I don’t want random peoples blood in my PC.

    Blizz, you throw in one of those breastmilk-dispensers you got strewn around the office and you got yourself a deal mister.

      Worth noting it is “infused with” i.e. probably a very small ratio of blood to water.

    The blood drive is good, blood in the coolant not so much. Keeping a coolant line clean is very important, and taking it apart to clean it is a bit of a pain in the ass. Just use red dye instead.

      The wording is odd. I don’t see “the coolant is infused with blood” in the article. Could just be in glass cosmetically.

        Or just a drop or two added or some shit. I think they worded it that way so people think the coolant is replaced with blood, which it obviously is not.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love when people do good, but giving few thousand bucks (and spending much more on marketing) so you can convincen others to do good and hide your fuck ups is not really “doing good”.

      Probably just the people building the computer. Knicking your finger or scraping a knuckle while building a server is frequently called giving it a blood sacrifice, so anything custom is invariably going to have trace amounts of incidental human blood on some components.

    Blizzard would really do anything to drive attention to their shitty games.

    But I want a computer with its processor tied to the power supply with strands of John Romero’s hair.
