Back during CES 2023, Cooler Master unveiled a gorgeous – and unbelievably costly – gaming PC that’s shaped for illustration a shark. But now, if you’d alternatively bargain conscionable nan lawsuit without each nan components and innards, nan shaper is happy to oblige.

The original Shark X PC was priced astatine astir $7,000 and equipped pinch an Intel Core i7-14700F processor, an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and 2TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage. But while nan lawsuit itself is $2,700 little than nan afloat PC, it’s only disposable successful Japan successful nan Yodobashi Akiba shop correct now for an eyewatering 658,000 yen, aliases astir $4,300.

While this is surely an costly PC aliases moreover lawsuit to own, it’s decidedly eye-catching and makes for a stunning centerpiece successful one’s surviving room. It would beryllium a uncommon centerpiece arsenic good since astir gamers would beryllium rightfully priced retired of nabbing 1 for themselves. And if you only want nan case, you still person to import it from Japan since location haven’t been immoderate talks of a world release.

Cooler Master is nan benignant of nan beautiful yet impractical

This isn’t Cooler Master’s only foray into nan wacky and unsocial world of PC cases. In 2023, it revealed Sneaker X, which was a gaming PC shaped for illustration a sneaker.

But nan value of beauty is ever a small steep, right?

At nan very least, these designs are highly entertaining and surely subordinate nan inclination of nan boring and dreaded ‘gamer aesthetic’ that plagues galore of nan champion gaming PCs connected nan market.
