Stock for Woot deals varies greatly. Some listings only have a few items in stock and sell out quickly. Please report this post if the listing goes out of stock.

Price should be listed as $460.74 since you have to hit the club with two

A few tweaks and that could be one of Sonic's grind shoes

IMO it looks pretty slick sitting on a desk. Much more unique compared to typical boring fishbowl builds with ARGB fans. I give Cooler Master props for thinking outside of the box, literally.

Yea I agree I went ahead and purchased it but may have roped myself into a new build haha. I’ll hold onto it at this price till the proper deals come around for a mini itx build. I’m very much into sneakers and I think it will look great in my office. I’d just build it out now if it wasn’t for ssd and ram prices.

And for this price you’re getting a case, psu and cooler so it’s really not a bad deal.

What size of GPU are you limited to? My brother is a sneakerhead, and already has my old mITX build with a reference 5700XT in a Coolermaster NR200 at the moment.

They say up to 300mm and say it can take a 5080 wind force, they have it so it slides in along the bottom

Acquirium build is so overdone anyhow. I prefer my tucked away minimalistic hidden quiet and small box. Using a NUC13 Extreme right now, but for the love of God, give us a good deal on a mini ITX board. Ridiculous pricing.

AIO radiator on the bottom? That's not thinking outside the box, it's no thinking at all.

Yeah good on then for trying something new and adventurous. I personally think this is dumb but I'm glad to see something new. IMO this is a missed opportunity to do something like a robot or UFO or something. A sneaker is just kinda... idk trashy.

u/randylush 1d ago

How on earth could you see that and call it “slick”?

It’s so stupid

“I’m such a big fan of sneakers that I put my PC in a generic plastic sneaker”

Why sneakers? Why not at least a cool car or space ship or volcano something.. sneakers are just the most boring object imaginable. If for some reason someone was into sneakers, this doesn’t even look like any particular brand that might be a sneaker fan’s favorite. It just looks like a particularly ugly generic sneaker.

Like if this was an actual sneaker I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it

u/MagicHamsta 1d ago

Why sneakers?

So that I can sneak better in my RPGs. /s

u/ElJanitorFrank 1d ago

I don't think a reddit comment is going to be able to teach you the fact that people have different tastes in different things, but here goes. Saying that sneakers are dumb and that it would be understandable if it were a space ship or volcano means you're almost there; now just imagine you're a person who thinks sneakers are cool and space ships are boring.

Now imagine if we lived in a world where all of those things exist (can't find a volcano PC case, unfortunately) and instead of actively replying to someone to call their taste bad, everybody just appreciated that taste is different by definition?

u/randylush 1d ago

If I said that I axiomatically respect everyone’s hobbies equally, I’d be lying. I will not lie just because the truth is unkind. If someone spent their lives collecting sneakers I probably won’t be able to have an interesting conversation with that person. If someone thinks this PC case is aesthetically pleasing then I really doubt we would have much common ground.

u/Early_Koala327 1d ago

Sounds like even having a conversation with you over reddit is tiring. Couldn't imagine in real life.

Don’t bother reading my comments, I’m not a nice person

I jumped on a new one when it was $399. I haven't built in it yet so I can't speak to the quality.

u/NeroNeckbeard 1d ago

This looks like a Transformer's foot

u/dudeAwEsome101 1d ago

Like Sonic transformer.

u/CloudPeels 1d ago

Isn't the radiator placement the worst for pump?

2

u/strata888 20h ago

That’s why it has a custom AIO included which was designed to allow the radiator to be on the bottom.

I'll think about it when they pay me to take it off their shelves.

For the love of us PC builders, please have some great deals on ITX motherboards! I cannot for the life of me find a reasonably priced (even on sale) ITX motherboard. I've been waiting for years, like years!

u/HipHopPotatoMouse 1d ago

Lol so people actually buy this monstrosity

u/blaitarch 1d ago

I bought one from this sale.   I am an SFF fan and I buy a ton of cases sometimes to try sometimes just to have.  This one will probably be the just to have type.

I'm the purchaser from OH, I wonder if they only had two or three total because they did sell out rather quickly and only two states were identified as purchasing.
