Cryorig, better known for its cooling and peripherals, has debuted a PC monitor stand that doubles as an mITX case, called the Taku. So if you want to review a PC set of the 90’s office, you now can. Now with better hardware and not in beige.
The Taku has been under development for over two years in-house plus a year of co-development with manufacturing partner Lian-Li. The unit itself is a hybrid PC Monitor stand and an ITX form factor PC case. It is designed so that a monitor sits on top, a complete ITX size PC (including a full-size video card) is inside the case, and full-size keyboard hides underneath the solid wood supported chassis.

As a PC Monitor Stand the Taku can support monitors up to 15 kg and fit a full 104 key mechanical keyboard underneath the stand. The system tray can be fully slid out of the chassis for easy installation of PC components or upgrades. Dual USB 3.0 ports and audio in/out ports are available, with a USB-Type C port upgrade kit planned for later revisions. The Taku will also include two cable management holes at the front. This allows for cables to be run through the system tray and connected to the back ports of the Taku..
Pricing for the Taku is $299 and will be released first in select markets including USA, Japan, and Taiwan starting in December. Other markets are planned for release in the first half of 2018.
