Halloween, the Celtic festival from Ireland

Contrary to appearances and received ideas, Halloween is not an American holiday at all in origin, since it finds its origins almost 3000 years back in the Celtic culture.e, at our Irish neighbors to be precise.

For the record, in the Celtic calendar, the last day of the year was not December 31, but October 31. The Celtic New Year was then celebrated that night by paying homage to the God of death and this day was then called “Samain’s Day”. Samain being the day when the God of death informed the deceased of the past year of their reincarnation.

It was not until the middle of the 19th century, with the massive arrival of Irish and Scottish emigrants, that what is now called Halloween (contraction of “All Hallows Eve” or “The eve of all saints” in French) will begin to resemble what we know today.

Now Halloween is one of the most popular and beloved holidays every year. For a brand, it’s a must and a unique opportunity to release a new collection, for amusement parks, it helps to continue to attract visitors between the summer holidays and the Christmas holidays and for all others, it’s an opportunity to have a fancy dress party with friends while enjoying the next day’s holiday.

For Halloween, LEGO launches its very first gaming PC with Core i9 and RTX 3090

Renowned for always being up to date with current events and the seasons (one thinks in particular of its forward calendars on the themes of Harry Potter or Star Wars), LEGO has never fully embarked on collections around the Halloween theme, even if there are haunted mansions, pumpkin heads as storage boxes or even a Halloween Owl to decorate your room.

But this year, the Danish company surprised everyone by announcing a unique and incredible object, one of the most powerful gaming PCs on the market.

As you can see in the incredible video presented by LEGO, we thus find a huge house of horror made up of over 20,000 pieces, double the largest LEGO sets on salee (11000 for the world map and 9090 for the Titanic).

In the bowels of the haunted house, there are also gargoyle-shaped switches, hand-shaped cable grommets, skeletons, spiders, a vampire, a mad scientist and his creatures, but also, and this is there the most surprising, a real motherboard with RAM (RGB of course), an Intel Core i9-12900K processor and nothing less than an RTX 3090 graphics card.

To cool everything down and avoid overheating, you even have the right to “homemade” water cooling. In short, very great art which will obviously never be marketed, but nothing prevents you from drawing inspiration from it to make yourself a truly unique PC!
