Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware project involving modifying cryptocurrency mining boards, custom 3D printing, BIOS/firmware flashing, and Linux kernel/driver hacking.
What it would actually take: Building this requires physical hardware prototyping, CAD/3D printing expertise, board-level electronics debugging, and low-level Linux kernel/driver configuration for non-standard GPU/APU mining hardware.
