oh hi I'm just admiring this uh boom I'm just admiring this new piece of furniture I had cryo rig sent over I'm not usually that big on monitor stance but there's just something about this one that really grabbed my attention you know it's a nice size it stands up off the desk with these trendy little wooden feet and it even has USB but my favorite part is actually what's inside get yourself a cool t-shirt like this one through our merch store with designed by humans check out the link below to learn more so young kids out there did you ever wonder why we call desktop PCs desktops well wonder no more and feast your eyes on the taku a new take on an old idea having your computer lay flat on your desk by cryo rig ours is actually a prototype that they packed up and shipped to us after we saw it at Computex the front of it is completely understated all we have is the relatively large blue illuminated power button that also doubles as a drive activity light on a flat white anodized aluminum plate on the top and bottom of the case our ventilation holes that work with the slats on either side for some extra breathing room on the right side is our front i/o and that's it it's a pretty basic layout so far around back though it gets more interesting there's a rear panel cutout dual slot GPU mount and an SFX PSU mount but wait a minute what's up with that hole on the top left and right of the power supply well look back at the front of the case there are two slits cut out just above the front plate with these you can run USB cables through the back of the case to your motherboards i/o making for a significant reduction in desk clutter for things like plugging in your phone or USB headset neat literally it's legs come in four varieties light and dark oak and white and gunmetal anodized aluminum and even if they aren't to your style there's very little reason to leave them out because like other monitor stands stands the Taku is also a great place to hide your keyboard when you're not using it extra wide keyboards like our g7 10 plus won't quite fit but any standard 104 key or 10 keyless keyboard will slide right in there no problem and speaking of sliding the talk whose best trick is what happens when you press in on the front panel in here we've got space to mount the largest SF XL power supplies graphics cards as long as our gtx 1080i trays for up to two two and a half inch drives with a 92 millimeter fan mounted on top and a tray for a single three and a half inch drive considering cases like the doctor's neighbor sentry can pack up to eight two and a half inch drives into a much smaller ITX case this might seem a little bit limited but cryo rig felt and I actually agree that most people would prefer better airflow for a few drives to the ability to turn their small form-factor case into a destination for our backup of the entire internet build time the slide-out tray is not nearly long enough to access anything but the drive bays but that's actually ok remove the tray by pushing in these two black plastic tabs from here each of the drive bays comes out with a single screw and you can install the rest of your components run your cables through the cable cover and oh wait a problem our power supply actually didn't come with cables long enough to reach cryo rig did include extensions but there sinfully ugly so we grabbed some cable mod cables and mmm that's better but getting back to practicality what about cooling performance whether we're looking at a synthetic CPU load a synthetic GPU load or a combination of the two our temperatures stayed completely within reason these are excellent results but that's kind of to be expected for such a large ITX case what that said though a case like this doesn't really need to be super small does it as monitor stands go this is both a good width and a good height and it's strong enough to handle pretty much anything that you can throw on it here's a shot of it with Dells 8k 32 inch monitor but don't imagine you'll be buying one of these just yet cryo rig is still working out some final details such as tweaks support clearances whether to have the included fan pull air in from the top or bottom and where to add the structural support that they need at the front and don't imagine you'll necessarily be buying one later either the build quality is amazing it's produced in Lee and Lee's factory the layout should allow custom water cooling with some creativity and we love cryo rigs stylish and utilitarian new take on the desktop PC but on Kickstarter right now it's priced at anywhere from 300 to almost 400 US dollars depending on the options you select so yeah it's gorgeous but priced more like trendy furniture than a typical beige PC box tunnel there makes it
