There is a tradition with April Fools' Day in the tech industry, and while it is not the most jovial industry around, some of those that show up each year are quite funny. To be honest a few could actually work and would probably sell like hotcakes.

The usual suspects have already come up with their own and some of them were a bit early this year, including be quiet! and Razer. There are quite a few good ones, and here is the lineup of some of those that caught our attention. We will probably add a few more, and feel free to add the ones that you caught in the comments section.



be quiet! came up with Zero Wings AI fans.




Razer is doing a mouse-shaped razer, which you can beta test.




Cherry came up with Cherry MX Wood switches, first sustainable and plastic free swiches made out of bamboo fiber, wood, and grass. Delivering the same MX quality you all love.



Gigabyte's AORUS UK and IE team actually made a good one, the AORUS Cat Master, the ultimate RGB Cat Rest for your PC. This is the one that could actually work and we think it would sell well.



Seasonic is celebrating the company's 50th anniversary with Ultron 2025 W, with gold-glowing blades, ATX 4.0 compatibility, and 80 Plus Diamond efficiency.



The Seasonic PSU could go well with NZXT's graphics card, which looks good in white.



Silverstone is going back to basics with the SST-FLP01-W PC case, and it even comes with dual 5.25-inch floppy disk bays.

These are all pretty great.
 
The cat rest looks like it should exist.
 
I am seeing Silverstone getting bombarded with emails asking for that case to become a real product.
 
The Be Quiet could exist ...
Remember this Dyson fan ? :

No fans ... but very noisy :)
 
I mean, someone would probably buy that:

A retro inspired line of cases. Something that works right out of the box and has support for modern fan setups and AIOs.
 
Intel launched the new i10 at a surprise event this morning, the processor has 10000 cores of efficiency, it needs only 1MW(OMG), the first 10k customers will get one of these as a gift:

It has no Turbo Button, and should have AT supply power toggle and segment LED number display.

Guy making it haven't really used a vintage PC. It lacks authentic features :roll:
 
I'd love to build an HTPC in that Silverstone throwback case
 
I saw someone on Twitter post a PCIe Floppy Drive and after seeing the Silverstone case...I actually love the look.

It's goofy but I actually think the cat one would sell haha.
