I've never really been a fan of gaming PC design. Sure, there are exceptions; the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition is lovely, but for every beautifully crafted custom build, there are a dozen black boxes covered in RGB strips, jagged vents and enough glowing fans to light a small village. Power has never been the problem; it's the aesthetics that usually leave me cold.
Which is why this new Aston Martin collaboration with Chillblast caught my eye. Not because it has an RTX 5090 inside (it helps), and not because one version costs a wallet-hungry £15,999, though the Chillblast x Aston Martin RTX 5070 PC starts at £3,749, which is a little more acceptable. What interested me was that Aston Martin's Colour, Materials & Finish team actually got involved in designing a gaming PC that feels, well… Aston Martin.
