Could you build this?
No The product combines physical hardware engineering, custom PCB design, embedded microcontroller firmware, and native operating system telemetry software.
What it would actually take: Building this requires designing a custom PCB housing an ESP32, touchscreen display, and enclosure, alongside embedded C++ firmware (using ESP-IDF/LVGL) for display rendering. The software component requires a native Windows desktop service (C#/.NET or C++) hooking low-level hardware sensors (via LibreHardwareMonitor) and graphics pipelines to stream FPS and PC vitals over USB or Wi-Fi.
