Shouldn't your gaming rig look as awesome on the outside as the sheer power it holds inside? This basic question has led to a cottage industry of gaming rig manufacturers and modifiers that specializes in tricked-out designs. CyberPower has taken the gaming aesthetic and cranked it up to unheard-of levels with the new Trinity, part of its Fang gaming desktop lineup. Looking like something straight out of a sci-fi film, the Trinity has a tri-section design that defies the boxy look of average PCs.

The aptly named Trinity spreads the load of a full-size chassis with a steel frame shrouded in heavy steel casings. Originally a concept design from CyberPower's manufacturing partner DeepCOOL, the Trinity is swiftly shifting from concept to reality.

The three sections house all the components you'd expect to find in a full ITX chassis, with pre-wired connections between the three sections. The shrouded design pipes are threaded through the chassis from front to back for efficient cooling. The first section houses the motherboard, CPU, and 120mm liquid cooling system; the second holds the graphics card and up to three 2.5-inch drives; while the third contains the systems power supply, optical drive, and any additional drives. Want more graphics power? Ditch the optical drive and you can fit a second full-length GPU in the third section.

The steel construction makes the Trinity sturdy, yet heavy. The full system weighs a massive 55 pounds, but it can be set either down on two spokes or up on just one with the included foot attached.

The model displayed at CES is configured with a potent Intel Core i7-4790K processor, an EVGA model Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 graphics card, and three 512GB solid-state drives (SSDs). CyberPower will offer the Trinity in dozens of configurations when the system hits the market this spring. Pricing is not yet available.

My Experience

From the laptops on your desk to satellites in space and AI that seems to be everywhere, I cover many topics at PCMag. I've covered PCs and technology products for over 15 years at PCMag and other publications, among them Tom's Guide, Laptop Mag, and TWICE. As a hardware reviewer, I've handled dozens of MacBooks, 2-in-1 laptops, Chromebooks, and the latest AI PCs. As the resident Starlink expert, I've done years of hands-on testing with the satellite service. I also explore the most valuable ways to use the latest AI tools and features in our Try AI column.

The Technology I Use

Between the Starlink dish on my roof and the laptop or desktop I'm using right now, I've always got a new tech product in front of me. I have five or six laptops in rotation at any moment, along with a couple of mini PCs, two smart TVs, and a couple of Chromebooks for good measure.

Everything is connected via Starlink, using the latest Dish V4 and Gen 3 Router, letting me live my tech-centric life in rural Idaho.

When I'm not testing and reviewing products, I'm probably using one of a dozen AI tools for everything from work and productivity to entertainment and saving some money.
