The 'Henry Cavill Building Gaming PC' meme originated from a self-shot video posted by the actor to Instagram in July 2020, featuring him assembling a high-end gaming computer to the music of Barry White. The internet quickly embraced the footage, celebrating Cavill's genuine passion for PC gaming and his status as a 'geek icon.' The meme is widely used to represent someone being incredibly meticulous, showing off 'PC Master Race' superiority, or focusing intensely on a task that is both technical and satisfying. It has become a staple in gaming communities to highlight the transition from Hollywood glamour to relatable home-built tech projects.
