Cooler Master Unveils the Shark X: A Revolutionary Fusion of Technology and Art

TheLostSwede · Sep 3, 2024

Cooler Master, a leading provider of PC components, gaming peripherals, and tech lifestyle solutions, today announced the Shark X, a groundbreaking pre-built PC that redefines the boundaries between performance, design, and art. The Shark X delivers an exceptional computing experience while standing as a bold statement piece inspired by the ocean's mightiest and most efficient predator.

"The Shark X is not just a high-performance PC—it's a masterpiece that brings art and technology together, reflecting Cooler Master's commitment to innovative design and engineering," said Jimmy Sha, CEO of Cooler Master.

Standing three feet tall (1 meter), the Shark X is crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques, seamlessly blending organic forms with technological precision. Drawing inspiration from custom mods in Cooler Master's Case Mod World Series 2019, its distinctive design offers raw power and striking visual impact. More than just a computer, the Shark X is an art piece that transforms any space it occupies.

Beneath its striking exterior, the Shark X houses a Mini-ITX framework allowing for full upgradability. The internal structure, visible through strategic openings in the chassis, adds to its mystique.

The Shark X defies conventional market categories, appealing to a diverse audience. It captivates design enthusiasts, satisfies tech-savvy professionals and gamers, and intrigues individuals seeking exclusive products. Its artistic presence makes the Shark X a versatile masterpiece of technology and design.

The Cooler Master Shark X is now available at Cooler Master's official online store in North America and select retailers worldwide.

It's ... original ...
Dunno if "satisfies tech-savvy professionals and gamers, and intrigues individuals seeking exclusive products."
But sure it's looks good on the desk

The next one which: Let us do something just because we can, not because it makes sense.

I mean, it’s slightly less obnoxious than the sneaker one, but I am not sure if anyone ever said “Boy, my PC is pretty gud, but too bad it DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A F**KING SHARK”.

SL2 · Sep 3, 2024

Yeah..

Assimilator · Sep 3, 2024

I bet it isn't even waterproof.

Bruh. I can build the sickest top of the line SFF PC for that money, with full custom water cooling and even obnoxious RGB bling. And I still would have enough cash for a high tier escort and the money to take her to a fancy restaurant or something. That probably would be money well spent compared to this, at least in the above scenario I would not be suffering from crippling buyers remorse. Well, hopefully, depending on the escort. And, uh, I guess the SFF build will be nice too.

W.T.F....?

With things they way they are right now, who the hell do they think is gonna fork out $7k for snarky-sharky peecee.... seriously..

CM must have made a bulk purchase of some uber-high grade pharma & fed it by I.V. to their design & marketing teams :mad:

ancelotti · Sep 3, 2024

Kinda weird that they chose such relatively mediocre specs for this type of build. It might still be a bit too abstract for my four-year-old, but if they add a freakin' laser to its head, then I'm in.

Sense is overrated if you have consumer bases that already bought everything...

Also... TPU deep dive on this product when?

QuietBob · Sep 3, 2024

But can this Shark game?

JIWIL · Sep 3, 2024

I got no beef with it, the world would be a less interesting place without silly people doing silly things for silly money.

However:

"Drawing inspiration from custom mods in Cooler Master's Case Mod World Series 2019"

Sounds more like "We held a competition and stole the designs" ?

watzupken · Sep 4, 2024

I wonder how many of the shoe like PC did Cooler Master sell, so much so that they are going further into selling niche PCs.

Frick · Sep 4, 2024

Stop calling it art.

Otherwise I'm fine with it, but yeah it really has to be a halo product, but then it would have been $9999.

Rexter · Sep 4, 2024

I wonder if the CPU will have time to oxidize before shipping

Jokes aside, I kinda miss over the top cases. You will be hard pressed to distinguish one case manufacturer from the other today.

Sounds even more like you're spreading FUD :roll:

The best part is that CM must have thought his name was Irony and set the price accordingly
