NBROS CPU and M.2 SSD Physical Display Stands Available to Pre-order in Japan
PC hardware exhibitionists will pleased to discover that NBROS—a Japanese DIY parts specialist—is about to release display stands for CPUs and M.2 SSDs. News outlets were alerted to new retail listings on Yodobashi.com by an ever trusty internet sleuth: momomo_us. The CPU display stand (NB-CPU-DP07) and M.2 SSD display stand (NB-M2SSD-DP06) models are available to purchase, although the shipping date appears to be February 29—implying that you can only pre-order at this stage in time. The made-in-Japan CPU stand is priced at ¥1850 (~$12.34) including VAT, while the M.2-oriented display piece comes in at ¥2180 (~$14.54)—both offered with free delivery options.
The NBROS NB-CPU-DP07 display stand is formed of black-painted iron plating, with a stated thickness of 1.6 mm—overall dimensions seem to be 65 x 65 x 50 mm, and it weighs roughly 80 grams according to the Yodobashi listing. The display surface dimensions are not documented, but accompanying photos indicate that all sorts of CPU footprints are supported—including EPYC and Xeon profiles. The retail package bundles in a few helpful extras: a suction pad, rubber feet and an instruction manual. The NB-M2SSD-DP06 model is a larger and heftier prospect, with 85 x 100 x 95 mm dimensions and an approximate weight of 250 g. The NBROS 1.6 mm thick metal plate construction is once again employed, but the NB-M2SSD-DP06's accessory pack differs slightly—you get a set of mounting screw instead of a suction pad. The chunkiest and most robust M.2 2280 designs can be fastened onto its display stand.

Japan? They have Waifu figurines to hold those things... why this boring stuff?
I have a dead 2080 Ti I use as a "display" because, well, it's dead and I haven't found had the heart to dispose of it yet. And the original packaging accommodated that.
This sort of solves this issue... in case you don't have access for a 3D printer to solve it yourself.
I've had a project in the back of my mind for a while to breakdown one of my older GPUs, the legendary 8800GTS, and display it in a shadow box completely deconstructed. I'd do the same for my HD4850 and some other cards I've had through out the years that are either broken or too old to even resell at this point.
Another thought was making some wall art with all of the processors I have accrued over the years.
There is a kind of weird beauty in some core computer components, but I think you have to do a little something with it, not just plop it on a stand and call it a day.
This is a decent idea really, not for me personally, but I definitely can see the appeal.
beer....cpuedit: yes we can :lovetpu:
Just send me the product and I will be very thorough in my writing. Cant guarantee on grammar though.
But.......
Can the CPU's run Crysis while being displayed on one of these stands ?
Or better yet, can they run the "can it run Crysis" app ? hehehe :) /s
