If you're a sneakerhead and just want to extend that beyond what's on your feet, Cooler Master showcased a new PC case in time for its 30th anniversary. The aptly-named Sneaker X is a sneaker-shaped PC case built off the work of modder JMDF, who originally submitted the design at the brand's Case Mod World Series 2020.

We don't know its scale but expect the case to take up some space. In JMDF's video, you can see it has a 600W power supply, which might put its size into perspective. But, of course, some aspects of the design could change.

KFConsole is a game console and chicken warmer in one

KFC—yes, that KFC—has a game console. And from the looks of it, it can rival the new Sony and Microsoft consoles while keeping your fried chicken warm. KFC partnered with PC hardware manufacturer Cooler Master to develop the KFConsole. It was first teased in June and garnered tons of interest, which is unsurprising because it's an unusual move from the popular fast-food chain.

The KFConsole has a custom-built cooling system that extracts system heat through the outside of the chicken chamber, which will keep the hardware cool and the chicken warm. The specs aren't available yet, but it promises to have a top-end Intel CPU, ASUS hot-swappable mini-GPU, and two Seagate NVMe 1TB SSD cards. So, yes, it can play more demanding games, too. It seems like the most 2020 thing to come out, and we love that. There is no release date or price yet, but it does have a website. Maybe it will come out. We do wonder, though, if it will pass health and safety regulations.
