Can you imagine having a personal shark-shaped computer that’s as unique as you are? As a result of having a Cooler Grasp, you are able to do so. The corporation has announced the availability of its latest innovation: a cutting-edge, pre-assembled personal computer, seamlessly integrating premium hardware into a single, breathtaking masterpiece, now open to pre-orders.
The design inspiration behind the Shark X stems from Inony’s innovative concept, a competitor that impressed judges in the Cooler Grasp Case Mod World Series in 2019. Jimmy Sha, CEO of Cooler Grasp, notes that the design harmoniously unites artistic flair and technical expertise on your desktop, creating a unique fusion. Although even the most exceptional gaming PCs currently available typically come housed in a standard, unassuming case design.
This “trophy piece” as Cooler Grasp describes it might require an unconventional design, but it undoubtedly comes equipped with a 14th generation Intel Core i7-14700F processor clocked at 2.1 GHz, 64GB (two x 32GB) of DDR5 RAM operating at 6,000MHz, and a 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD for ample storage space? This laptop also boasts impressive gaming capabilities, thanks to the inclusion of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which can be easily upgraded with a more powerful graphics card if needed.
The Cooler Grasp V850 SFX Gold power supply provides 850W of reliable energy for a multitude of Cooler Grasp products. The MasterLiquid Atmos AIO provides comprehensive water cooling for CPUs, supplemented by a Cooler Grasp Sickleflow 120mm fan to enhance air circulation.
The mini-ITX B760I motherboard seamlessly integrates into the case design, featuring practical uses for its rear fin, such as serving as a Wi-Fi antenna, although official confirmation from Cooler Master regarding the board’s manufacturer is currently lacking. The Shark case measures 31.1 x 35.75 x 35.2 inches (approximately 79 x 90.8 x 89.4 centimeters), constructed from a combination of durable plastic and sturdy metal materials. This flexibility helps accommodate different Mini-ITX boards, enabling a straightforward swap of Intel for AMD or other compatible options in the future.
Cooler Master’s Cooler Grasp boasts an impressive display of ARGB lighting that wraps elegantly around its sleek design, spanning from the tail to the head, accompanied by a comprehensive ARGB lighting controller for customizable effects. This slim and compact gaming PC case measures just 11.9 x 5.39 x 2.4 inches (30.4 x 13.7 x 6.1 cm), with support for graphics cards of equal or smaller size. The Shark’s sleek design allows for unobstructed access to its internal components, including the motherboard, GPU, and liquid cooling system, all easily visible from beneath its streamlined body.
Cool Grasp’s inaugural experiment in unorthodox PC design was far from its last attempt. The Sneaker X, similar to the Shark X, leverages the advantages of a Mini-ITX motherboard to seamlessly integrate an Intel Core i7-13700K processor and NVIDIA RTX 4070 graphics into a shoe-inspired casing. Can Cooler Grasp’s latest initiative, the Shark X launch, serve as a catalyst for heightened awareness and tangible support for ocean conservation initiatives?
Should you simply fancy the design, you can pre-order the Shark X directly from Cooler Grasp’s website, although a specific delivery date has not been announced just yet. Are you prepared to pay the premium price of $6,999 (£5,335), which is the sticker price for the Shark X? With its unconventional design, the Shark X “transcends traditional market categorizations,” making it a unique offering that doesn’t easily fit into typical price brackets. While there are certainly more affordable gaming PCs available or buildable, it’s unlikely you’ll find a system with the same level of customization and quality at this price point.
