FEBRUARY 2020 PCWorld 29monitors (go.pcworld.com/gsul), and these
look even better.
The GeForce software team also released
a feature-laden Game Ready driver for the
show, introducing real-time ray tracing in
Wolfenstein: Youngblood and much more. It
also announced that boutique PC builders
can now offer RTX Studio-validated systems
for content creators (go.pcworld.com/rtst),
and Nvidia will toss in three free months of
Adobe’s Creative Cloud if you buy one.
DESKTOPS GONE WILD
Desktop builders always bring their craziest
concepts to CES, and 2020 was no
exception. Razer’s Tomahawk N1 (go.
pcworld.com/tmn1) blends the design of
the company’s Razer Core external graphics
card dock with Intel’s new card-based NUC
technology to create a dead-simple,
damned sleek DIY PC. It’s
pretty appealing, though
Razer’s been more miss than hit
when it comes to actually
launching the wild concepts it
shows off at CES, so we’ll see if
you’re ever able to actually buy
one.
Corsair’s Project Orion (go.
pcworld.com/orin), on the
other hand, leans heavily on the
revolutionary Capellix LEDs that
Corsair introduced at last year’s
CES. Project Orion’s a modified
Razer Tomahawk N1.Corsair Crystal 465X case with the Capellix
LEDs lining the inside of its glass panels.
Embedded into a transparent film, the ultra-
bright LEDs illuminate the exterior of the case
without interfering with the clarity of the view
of the internal components. Behold its
dazzling beauty in the video at the link.
Then there’s the Big O (go.pcworld.com/
bigo), a revival of a decade-old oddity byOrigin Big O PC.
