Iโ€™m a sucker for RGB fans in my PC, but CyberPowerPCโ€™s new PC case goes one step further to turn a typical tower into a breathing computer. It has 18 mechanical vents that automatically open and close when your PC needs some more air, and it looks like something youโ€™d expect to find in a video game like Control. Itโ€™s very cool-looking.

It works by reading sensors for your PC temperature every five seconds, and it will open and close different vents accordingly. If youโ€™re just watching YouTube videos, or your PC is idle, then the vents will stay closed, but the vents will gradually open as the temperature increases. If youโ€™re running the latest game at max settings, then expect the vents to be fully open to suck in as much air as possible.

Itโ€™s extremely unusual, as PCWorld points out, but I absolutely love its purposeful design. Itโ€™s inspired by buildings like the Al Bahr Towers that have a computerized dynamic faรงade, sunshades, or even modern satellites that expand and collapse.

โ€œThese adjustments are not limited to a simple open and close, but rather the opening and adjusting real time to every single degree of temperature change,โ€ says CyberPowerPCโ€™s Nam Hoang in a video for the PC case. โ€œIt senses the environment and is constantly contracting and expanding to adapt to the situation with micro-adjustments.โ€

CyberPowerPC has been working on this design for more than six months, and Hoang admits the case โ€œisnโ€™t about maximum airflow, but intelligent airflow.โ€ PCWorld reports that the case will first be available in CyberPowerPCโ€™s Kinetic Series of PCs later this year and that the company is considering selling the case on its own for around $250 if thereโ€™s sufficient demand.
