$14,000 for a PC with titanium-alloy flowers that unfurl as your system temps get toasty? Well, okay then...
AMD Ryzen 9800X3D and Nvidia RTX 5080 thrown in, too, just because.
The Aftershock PC company from Australia has introduced a custom-made computer featuring heat-reactive cherry blossoms that unfurl as the system's temperature rises. According to the company, these handcrafted cherry blossoms, made from a special heat-reactive titanium alloy, represent power, temperature, lighting, and performance in a living display.
The cherry bloom PC is built using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, Nvidia RTX 5080 graphics card, a 2 TB Lexar NVME drive, 64 GB of RAM, and a 1,300 W PSU. Despite the high price tag of $19,995 Australian dollars (approximately $14,000 USD or £10,000), the cherry blossom PC is considered reliable because its petals do not rely on motors; instead, they move due to the heat generated by the system components.
Although some may find the aesthetic unconventional, the cherry blossom PC represents a unique and innovative approach to custom computer design, setting it apart from other high-end gaming rigs.
