However, these are not the only models available on the market, as long as we talk about reasonable prices. A few weeks ago we were talking about the sneaker-shaped PC case. Master of the chiller, a case that can already be purchased in several countries for just over 1,000 dollars and includes both the motherboard and power supply as well as several heatsinks with RGB lighting.
The sneaker-shaped PC case isn’t the only eccentric case design that Cooler Mater has launched on the market. At CES 2024, this manufacturer presented the PC Sharkbased on a mod called Leviathan that won the Cooler Master World Series of Mods 2019, a PC with a shark-shaped case and run by the Intel Core i7-14700F with a graphics card NVIDIA RTX 4070 The SUPER.
However, this model hit the market for just over $7,000 and, as expected, it did not have the success Cooler Master hoped for and, as happened with the Sneaker, it is time to get rid of the stock of this curious box design once and for all. and its price has dropped considerably.
Shark X, shark-shaped PC case
This curious PC case design has just arrived at several retailers in Japan for 658,000 yen, or just under 4,000 dollars at today’s exchange rate. It is important to note that this is the price of the box, and not of all the components with which it was presented at CES 2024.
This box has space inside to color a base plate mini-ITX and has measurements of 790 x 908 x 894 mm. As can be seen in the image above, the PC is held on the shark’s tail, on a hexagonal base with RGB lighting. It is white and has RGB lighting on the fins and head.
4,000 dollars for a shark-shaped PC case with no components inside is truly outrageous. At least the sneaker-shaped model included a motherboard, power supply, and several heatsinks with RGB lighting.
At the moment we do not know if the company’s plans include launching this curious design outside of Japan. If the intention is to get rid of all available stock, it is more than likely that it will reach other countries like the United States and even some countries in Europe.
The bad sales experience that both computer case in the form of a sneaker like this shark-shaped one is obviously due to its high price. If these boxes came on the market, at most, for around 500 dollars, they would have a bigger market.
If the manufacturing cost is very high, continuing to invest in boxes with exclusive designs is not profitable for the company. However, that doesn’t mean that, at the next CES, Cooler Master won’t surprise us with another eccentricity.
