Cryorig Taku: This PC Chassis Can Fit A Gaming Rig While Doubling As A Monitor Stand

GADGETS

Most gaming desktops end up under the table for one simple reason: there’s just no room for them anywhere on the desk. The Cryorig Taku solves this by coming in a form factor that serves as a monitor stand, ensuring there’s actually room for it right beneath your main display.

Designed as an elevated stand for your monitor, the case is reinforced with structural beams inside that deliver support, allowing it to safely support over 30 pounds of weight. The room underneath is also high enough to accommodate most any size of keyboard, allowing you to neatly tuck it underneath when it is not in use.

The Cryorig Taku has a tray inside the chassis that you can pull out for easy access to the hardware, allowing you to quickly swap out components in a whim. It has a tray large enough to accommodate a mini-ITX motherboard, with enough room in the chassis to fit a 280mm GPU, a pair of 2.5-inch SSDs, and a 3.5-inch drive, allowing you to use it to assemble a decent gaming PC. Each case comes with a 92mm system fan.

Construction is anodized aluminum for the chassis and tray, with the legs available in both wood and aluminum. Do note, the chassis only has a little over two inches of room on the interior, so you’ll encounter some limitations when it comes to your cooling options.

A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for the Cyrorig Taku. You can reserve a unit for pledges starting at $250.

  1. I think I am in love with the Cryorig Taku! I hope that it hurries up off of KickStarter and into production really soon. My gaming computer is getting old and I think it is just about time for a new one, but I would love a Cryorig Taku instead of the usual beast of computers. I like that they are very realistic about what gamers want by making it able to be on my desk. It frees up quite a bit of leg room, which my legs greatly appreciate. It also looks nice and the design has a really new-age calming effect to it. With it being able to support up to 30 pounds, I think I am finally going to upgrade my monitors to bigger ones. At last I will have a cooler gaming set up than all of my friends do.

    1. Do you think the price for the Cryorig Taku will be lower once it is in production? Some Kickstarter products are cheaper to buy when they are fundraising on Kickstarter, while others tend to cost less once they go into production. I can never tell.

      I can really appreciate the styling of the Cryorig Taku, especially the oak legs. The oak wood legs is a great touch to the chassis.

      I do feel like I am limited on a custom-build by the fan placement. I would need at least one heat sink and dual fans, at minimum. I would feel like it is a game trying to get the PC parts I want into the Cryorig Taku. I really like the Cryorig Taku, but I would feel to limited by the layout of it for my needs.

      1. The Oak legs look nice, but I much prefer the dark aluminum legs with the red chassis.

        I agree with you on the layout. If you wanted to set-up a custom computer, it could potentially be hard if you don’t preplan to fit into this case. I would rather build my computer by choosing my competent, and then finding a case that would fit around it.

        I’m speculating that the cost of the Cryorig Taku will be lower once it is in production. If there is truly enough demand, they can negotiate better rates with the factor to produce them, plus sites like NewEgg might pick up a bunch of these to resell at a discounted rate.

  2. Meh. I’m not impressed. Yes it looks good, but for the same price you can get otherPC Chassis’s that have more flexibility in design, even if you are limited on desk space. This is like people who buy an Apple MacBook simply because of the looks. It’s stupid. If it meets your needs then there is nothing wrong with buying this chassis, but if you are putting style and design ahead of functionality, then you are building your computer in the wrong manner. What good is a sexy computer if it doesn’t fully meet your needs?

  3. It doesn’t discuss the noise, which I would think at that form factor, fans would need to spin really fast, especially noting the references to this being used for gaming.
