CRYORIG Teases Two New Cases Bound for Computex 2016

[btarunr]

For Computex 2016, CRYORIG is revealing their first foray into PC cases with two innovated and uncommon projects. The CYORIG OLA is a Mac Pro inspired cylindrical home theater lifestyle ITX PC case with focus on performance and cooling. The CRYORIG TAKU is a monitor stand PC case that focuses on maximizing desk space while slides open for easy access to hardware. Both the OLA and TAKU projects are still in early development. CRYORIG is planning on a "Ask Anything" live stream event on June 1st during Computex for user feedback on both projects.

With the OLA, CRYORIG is attempting to create a PC experience case that not only looks sleek enough for it to be a center piece of the living room but also capable of housing powerful full length GPU's. Inspired by the Mac Pro, the OLA is cylindrical with a purpose. With a Cylindrical shape the OLA achieves increased internal air volume, and zero airflow dead space. Individual compartments for the CPU, PSU and GPU prevents heat overflowing to other areas. Dual shark-gill like side air intake ducts run the length of the case to insure cool air intake for both the CPU/mainboard area and the GPU.



The large 140 mm XT140 exhaust fan at the top pulls out all excess heat from both compartments. The OLA supports full length GPU cards as well as 100 watt TDP Core i7 CPU's, perfect for the high computation needs of VR. On the aesthetics end, the OLA features a modular front and back panel for multiple textured options. Functioning units will be shown at Computex as well as static units with Brushed Aluminum and the Wood Veneer alternate panel texture options. The OLA is still work in progress with the release targeting Q2 of 2017. Full specifications are to be announced once designs are finalized.

The CRYORIG TAKU is a combination of an ITX case and PC monitor stand. The TAKU is constructed with a 3 mm thick full aluminum chassis for optimum structural support while still maintaining a light weight. The TAKU's internal system tray uses a sliding drawer design for easy access to the mainboard, GPU and HDD compartments. The TAKU also features thoughtful cable management ducts on both sides for USB power cords connecting to your mobile phone. The OLA is designed to keep the desk clean and your PC even sleeker. Support for 250 mm long GPU's, drive bays for a 3.5" and 2.5" device or two 2.5" devices, suitable for most ITX system needs. In addition to the full aluminum frame, the TAKU also mixes in solid wood legs at the base for contrasting materials. Like the OLA the TAKU is also still a work in progress with targeted release dates in late 2016 or Q1 2017. Functioning demos of the TAKU will be at display during Computex.

Along with CRYORIG's first two case projects, CRYORIG plans on airing the first ever live stream event directly during Computex.

It looks like a dust collector to me... it will choke on the dust and hair.

 

[R00kie]

Whoa, a bigger bin

Dust collectors indeed...

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

is recycling bin a new trend after what Apple & MSI unveiled? That's some really fishy stuff right there. (no puns intended)

 

[a111087]

"lifestyle PC chassis"???
so, apparently, that "bigger bin" is supposed to reflect someones life. must be pretty shitty life...

 

[Solidstate89]

The second white one would be a nice HTPC case.

 

[MDL]

Se second one, very nice. But as always, nice things have a cost...

 

[Drone]

Is it a parody on Mac Pro?

 

[erixx]

FFS! If Apple makes a round abortion, make a square one! So much shyness in electronics.... 8)

 

[Caring1]

I thought MSI made the dustbin first, Apple copied.

 

[PLAfiller]

It's official for me, Cryorig rulz! I really like their stuff.

 

[silentbogo]

I think they should hire me for marketing ideas:
1) Cryorig YAT (Yet Another Trashcan)
2) Cryorig RCD (Re-purposed Cash Drawer).

 

[Kursah]

I like em both honestly. Kinda cool to see someone revitalize the old-school desktop-style cases and the cylinder one looks decent to me. Curious to see more pics and reviews on them. So far I've been really really really happy with my experience with Cryorig's products I would expect no less from PC cases they sell.

 

[refillable]

Man... The bin. Smokers are going to put their smokes there, the design looks very familiar.

 

[JJJJJamesSZH]

WOW
I like the first one. But the maximum 280mm VGA length may limit the GPU to nvidia reference cards or non-water-cooling AMD cards.

 

[erocker]

I'll admit.. I kinda want this case. I may have to take up smoking again.

 

[Aquinus]

I love the pictures showing how none of the components are actually connected to each other. The thing better come with replaceable HEPA filter because, this looks like it will filter all the crap in your air even without it.

 

[Caring1]

I think they should hire me for marketing ideas:
1) Cryorig BILYAT

Fixed it for you

The concept is OK, but the execution is not the best (if not horrible):
1) if pictures don't lie, then that SFX PSU gives us a clue a bout height: only 60mm internal vertical space is available. Which means that you can't use intel box HSF in that system, and your cooling options are limited to aftermarket <47mm cooling solutions (like that 26mm Cryorig C1 shown on photo #4).
2) Even though the case has enough space for a 240mm videocard, you'll still have to settle for an ITX-sized one because somehow you need to connect your motherboard to your PSU. Going over the top of VGA might not be the best idea, so your 24-pin and 8-pin cables will have to go around the videocard. If you are an owner of something like ECS Z97I Drone / Asus B150I Pro or anything with similar power connector placement, then you are one unlucky SoB. Also you'll have to make sure you have some loooong cables on that PSU.
3) can't use your front panel connectors for anything - all of your $h&t must reside on rear ports. That's their vision of "cable management".

they should put some handle like this

Doesn't differ much from Fractal Design Node 202- and it was named "Console killer" with a good amount of praise. Feels like similar to me. If you like the first attempts at this kind of chassis you, chances are you will like this one as well.

Node 202 is taller - fits cooling solutions up to 57mm tall (enough for Intel box HSF), and the layout is more convenient (straightforward and intuitive, no jumping trough hoops here).
As you can see, it's even possible to skip the GPU and install a dual-fan watercooling rig.
