Basically just the CPU fan, case, and PSU (if you're lucky). If someone can figure out how to get Doom running on just those 3 things, young people will be able to ascend.

I mean many modern cases have circuitry in them, such as RGB controllers or PWM fan hubs.

Let me remind you the requirements for DOOM modders to get DOOM running:

    I vaguely remember reading that they have literal ARM cortex chips in some of the most modern case RGB controllers

    If we can get to an SPI and connect some kind of display, it's conceivable that we could run DOOM, right?

    I feel like the military intelligence industry community conspired to introduce RGB components so that windowed PC cases would become industry standard, thus making it easier for them to power up any PC that is connected to a power source via BIOS bypassing line of sight technology.
