Edifier's new desktop speaker is treating gaming PCs as a luxury HiFi aesthetic, but it's just not doing it for me

The Edifier Huazai New Cyber, a desktop speaker that looks like a gaming PC.

I think gaming PCs look pretty cool. I mean, I would. I write about them for a living, I've filled mine full of all sorts of RGB goodies, and I'm nearly 38 years old—which means I lost a sense of what was actually cool over a decade ago. For me, however, its the function combined with the form that makes them visually intriguing, so I'm not entirely sure Edifier's new desktop PC-like speaker design makes much sense.

It's called the Huazai New Cyber, and it made me do a double take when I saw it in my newsfeed this morning (via TechSpot). What looks to be a slim and sleek SFF chassis housing a CPU cooler, AIO radiator, and some unrecognisable graphics card is actually a desktop Bluetooth speaker. Because... well, I'm still not sure.
