The Veterans Day Edition Warthog: One Build, No Repeats
Published 2026-11-07 by Jon Alden, Alden Tech
One gaming PC built for Veterans Day around the Olive Drab Corsair WARTHOG RS, a case that took over a month to get. A single Veterans Day edition unit, price to be announced.
Built for Veterans Day, not built in bulk
Alden Tech is a veteran-owned custom PC builder in Spartanburg, SC. For Veterans Day this year, I built one gaming PC around a case I had been waiting on, and I built it the way I wanted it built. There is no production run behind it and no second one queued up behind that.
This is a Veterans Day edition. It is a single unit, built once, and when it is gone, it is gone.
The case was the hard part
The build starts with the Corsair WARTHOG RS in Olive Drab, which arrived on October 29. The color and the rugged look set the tone for everything that went into it. This is not a white RGB showcase build. It is a military-styled machine that still has serious gaming hardware under the panels.
Getting that case was the dilemma behind this whole build. It was hard to get, and it was not a simple order and wait a few days. I waited over a month for it, with a lot of back and forth along the way, not knowing for a while if it was actually going to land in time for Veterans Day at all.
That wait is part of why this is a one-off. I could not just order another one and build a second copy. By the time this one finally arrived on October 29, the plan was set: build this one right, and do not promise another.
I already had the motherboard and graphics card for this build on hand, and the rest of the parts are now in. As of November 4, every part for this build is here.
Confirmed core parts
Case: Corsair WARTHOG RS, Olive Drab
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Graphics card: ASUS TUF RTX 5070
Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B850-E WIFI
Memory: G.SKILL 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 6000MT/S CL36
Cooling: ASUS TUF Gaming LC III 360 ARGB AIO CPU Cooler + Arctic P12 120mm fans
Power supply: MSI A750GL 750 WATT Power Supply
The pairing is the point. The 7800X3D is a proven gaming processor, and it is matched with the TUF RTX 5070 instead of being held back by an older card. The TUF B850 board ties the theme together, and 32GB of DDR5 is the right amount for a gaming PC in 2026, not a number picked to pad a spec sheet.
Like every Alden Tech build, this one goes through stability testing before it is offered for sale. A good parts list is only the start. The build has to hold up under load before it goes to a customer.
Warranty, stated plainly
The new parts in this build carry Alden Tech's 3-year parts and labor warranty. The Corsair RM750e power supply is refurbished, and refurbished parts carry a 90-day warranty. That is listed in the specs above and stated again here, because you should not have to hunt for it.
One only, price to be announced
There is one of these. I have not set the price yet, so there is no price in this post and no pre-order to grab. When the build is ready and listed, it will be on alden.cloud, and that listing will have the final price and the full spec sheet.

To everyone who served, thank you. This one was built with you in mind.
