What looks to be a slim and sleek SFF chassis housing a CPU cooler, AIO radiator, and some unrecognisable graphics card is actually a desktop Bluetooth speaker. Because&#8230; well, I&#8217;m still not sure.<\/p>\n<p>Are we now living in an era where the gaming PC aesthetic is somehow aspirational? I suppose that might account for it. After all, a modern gaming desktop can be a very expensive thing, and a quick look at the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/battlestations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Battlestations subreddit<\/a> reveals a huge number of users anxious to show off their pricey, RGB-lit setups to the world.<\/p>\n<p>So, aspirational = luxury, luxury = home decor. It&#8217;s also a good opportunity to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/xzibit-yo-dawg\" target=\"_blank\">do an Xzibit<\/a> and put a gaming PC on your gaming PC, I suppose, or at least near it. Look everyone! I&#8217;ve got <em>two <\/em>gaming rigs. One of them is purely for my Spotify playlist, but still.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know. I feel like a 1950&#8217;s businessman shaking his head at Elvis&#8217; swinging hips. Still, there appears to have been some clever attempts here to make the &#8220;components&#8221; inside this rig both reminiscent of our beloved desktops, and functional, too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"GAzyTeeZNexpSsEAWqZaCV\" name=\"Edifierwhitegamingpcspeaker\" alt=\"An Edifier Huazai New Cyber speaker, which appears to look like a gaming PC, in white\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/edifiers-new-desktop-speaker-is-treating-gaming-pcs-as-a-luxury-hifi-aesthetic-but-its-just-not-doing-it-for-me.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Edifier)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to machine translation, what looks like water cooling tubes are actually speaker cables, while the GPU is actually a power supply.

Yep, you guessed it, that&#8217;s for the speaker units themselves. There&#8217;s a 4-inch subwoofer for bass duties, alongside two 52 mm drivers for the mids and treble. It&#8217;s probably quite a nice-sounding setup, actually, as Edifier is known for creating a good speaker set or two.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, it reminds me of the ill-advised gifts well-meaning relatives will get children with specific interests for the holiday season. You&#8217;re into cars are you, little Timmy? Well here&#8217;s a car-themed bedspread, lampshade, and cutlery set. An actual car? No, of course not.
