CES 2026 is always good for at least a few “look at this thing!” PCs, and this year, iBUYPOWER really leaned into that with their Trace X Custom Loop Concept.
It’s a flashy return to hardline liquid cooling in prebuilts, something that’s usually reserved for the hardcore DIY crowd or those "sell-a-kidney" expensive boutique systems. (Or should I say, "sell-both kidneys," given the current state of PC part prices). But while the custom loop is the eye candy, the real story is the stuff that’s going to hit shelves later this year.
