G.Skill Designers Pander to Their Own Vanity with a Trident-Z Royal Jewel Case

So you've spent anywhere between $170 to $600 on a G.Skill Trident Z Royal memory kit at a time when memory prices are on the decline, what do you do next? G.Skill thinks some users find their modules too pretty to be installed inside a computer, and has come up with a completely useless jewel case to let them admire G.Skill's creation. We initially dismissed FC-UM4A-TRK as an April Fool's joke, but turns out it's a real commercial product purchasable separately. Commonly sold as the "G.Skill Trident Z Royal Display Box" in cursive font, this jewel case clad with faux leather much like the faux diamonds on the memory modules' RGB LED diffusers, is somewhat functional.

You open its top lid to find four DDR4 memory slots. You seat your Trident-Z Royal memory modules, pull out the USB cable from the bottom drawer, and plug the jewel case to your PC. This lights up the memory modules, cycling through their lighting presets. If you were expecting the USB connection to do anything beyond powering the case, such as mounting the memory modules as a RAMdisk volume, we have bad news for you. On the plus side, you get a microfiber cloth to wipe the pristine mirror finish of your memory modules, and a 1-year warranty, just in case.

This could be a good thing. 2 reasons:
1-In the future when you replaced your system and have this memories lying around, you turn them into a decorative thing.
2-This could be seen as so ridiculous, manufacturers see it, wake up, and finnally stop with so much aesthetic exaggeration for their products. Tone it down or change the ways...

Say it's the greatest thing you ever saw, and you just made the goal and purpose of your life to get at least 2 and a half of them!
