Cooler Master's New Gaming PC Is A $3,800 Shoe That You Can't Even Wear
03.10.2023 - 18:21 / gamespot.com / New / You Can
The traditional gaming PC design has been rebooted.
By Darryn Bonthuys on
Gaming PCs have become works of technological art, but when it comes to unique designs, this new model from Cooler Master is a shoe-in for the most unique PC of the year. The Cooler Master Sneaker X is pure sneakerhead bait, a system that resembles a Gundam boot and is available in several configurations.
Originally a modified PC built by JMDF (via PC Gamer and Videocardz), the case would go on to win the best art direction award at the Case Mod World Series in 2020. Cooler Master took a fancy to the design, greenlit mass production of it, and a few years later, the final model has arrived.
Right now, you can get Sneaker X PC that's equipped with a Core i7 13700K, an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti GPU, Z790 motherboard, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 2TB SSD if you're prepared to spend $3,799 on one of these high-tech shoes. Alternatively, the «Enthusiast» version has similar specs and will cost you only $3,499. The versions sold outside of the US in the UK, Germany, France, and The Netherlands generally have different hardware inside of them, but on average, these are pretty solid--but expensive for the hardware you're getting--gaming PCs.
These were on sale on Amazon, but like most things in life that revolve around sought-after shoes, they sold out very quickly. And no, you can't wear them. Not without feeling what it's like to have a 4070 GPU heatsink digging into your heels, at least.

Spider-Man 2 Uses Cuban Flag Instead Of Puerto Rican In Miles' Room
Miles Morales is New York-born and bred, but he's very proud of his mother's Puerto Rican roots. Not so much that he can remember what its flag looks like, apparently, as he instead chooses to hang the Cuban flag in his home in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Unsurprisingly, this was a mistake on the developers' part and one that will be fixed in a future patch.

The upcoming Assassin's Creed VR game looks genuinely cool if you can keep yourself from throwing up
Part of me would love a VR headset, but the rest of me lives in a flat, which means I'm usually thankful that most VR game trailers don't do much for me. Besides Half-Life: Alyx and Superhot, there aren't many games that have me wishing I had an Index or Quest.

Don't Worry, You Can Still Upgrade the PS5 Slim's SSD | Push Square
The new PS5, colloquially known as the PS5 Slim, will replace the original model next month – and its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. For Sony, this design tweak will streamline its manufacturing process – but for consumers, it’ll also provide flexibility. The remodelled machine will also come in 30 per cent smaller than its predecessor, which is a significant footprint reduction.
