An Introduction to Wizmax, a New Gaming PC Hardware Brand Storming the Gates of CES

[btarunr]

Wizmax is a brand that came out of nowhere, with a strong presence at the 2023 International CES, debuting several new DIY gaming PC products, spanning cases, CPU coolers, case fans, peripherals, and power supplies. Wizmax is making inroads to western markets, and has its origins in South Korea, where it was started as a DIY channel brand by electronics OEM giant Micronics, which has been in business since 1996. While it works to set up a more organized distribution network, Wizmax is selling through a brand store on Amazon, with their lineup currently focused on gaming peripherals.

I sincerely hope the front panel of that case is easy to remove and machine washable or it's going to be a PITA to keep clean.

Too much effort man, just a decent dust blower for electronics will do the job IMO.

TIL. Never heard of them before, but with "Wiz" in the name, they must be awesome

That looks like an industrial CPU cooler that went through the Industrial Revolution.

Only if you live somewhere dry, with low relative humidity. In the tropics, accumulated dust becomes a cement-like coating which is nearly impossible to clean unless you use something to make it softer and a brush. That is what you get with 85%+ relative humidity all year long.

Checked their website and they sure have some interesting PC cases(while some that are downright bizarre).

The first thought that crossed my mind was that this must be a new brand by TPU (properly recognising that "MAX" is everywhere recently).

Sounds like what happens after too much Mountain Dew.

Yeah it looks so overkill.

Maybe the defining feature of that thing is that it lowers the CPU temp by simply tearing the entire socket from the motherboard PCB.

10 hard drive trays, nice!

But that front panel screams the Chinese resturant I visited while growing up...the aesthetics clash and as some folks have already mentioned it'll be really annoying to have to clean.

Guess there's still some steam inside.

The Wizmax front panel pops off; this is typical for many PC cases.

Here's a screen grab of the product page from the Wizmax corporate website:

Unsurprisingly there's a similar case with a different front panel design.
