FULL STORY
======================================================================

Cooler Master revealed two new gaming PCs, the aptly-named Cooling X and 
Sneaker X, and yes the latter is designed exactly how you think it is. 

Sneaker X was designed by JMDF and based on the iconic sneaker, which might 
especially appeal to sneakerheads. Its able to accommodate standard 
components like ITX form factor motherboards, SFX PSUs, and 3-slot GPUs. But 
what makes this PC so special is the advanced cooling system it uses, which 
includes liquid cooling. This allows it to stay cool while keeping its small 
form factor. It also supports up to 64GB of memory. Image 1 of 6 (Image

The PC manufacturer also released Cooling X, which has a sleek form factor 
that can fit on most desk setups and also features a similar advanced cooling 
system. 

Both the Cooling X and the Sneaker X are luxury gaming PCs that will support 
current-gen specs, which gives them both a rather steep price point. Sneaker 
X will retail for $5,999 in the US and release in early July, while the 
Cooling X will retail for $6,999 and release at the end of June. I want more 
sneaker PCs 

Ive previously lamented about the dreaded PC aesthetic , which has plagued 
even the best gaming PCs , laptops, and accessories since at least the 
mid-2000s. Its incredibly rare to find any of the aforementioned with 
colorful palettes and unique designs, since the vast majority of them are 
rocking the same black color and green highlights. 

Enter the Cooling X and especially the Sneaker X, two gaming PCs with very 
distinctive looks. The former has a sleek and small form factor highlighted 
in that gorgeous Cooler Master purple hue that stands out well. 

But the true stunner is the latter, which is literally shaped like a red 
sneaker and yet is still a completely functional PC. Im honestly amazed at 
the design of Sneaker X, at the vision of creating this concept and the 
technological prowess needed to actually build it and make it a functional PC 
that can handle the best graphics cards and processors from the current 
generation while sporting a well-balanced ventilation system. Not to mention 
the aesthetics alone are nearly worth the price of entry, as it makes a truly 
stunning set piece whether you place it at your work desk or display in the 
center of your living room. 

This might be a long shot, but I sincerely hope other PC manufacturers take 
note and put out more risk-taking and interesting concepts. We need to see 
more sneaker PCs and less giant black boxes.
