At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, boutique PC builder Digital Storm unveiled the 'Vector,' a pre-built system featuring a radical chassis redesign that rethinks internal layouts. As reported by TechPowerUp, the Vector's most striking innovation is positioning the GPU at the top of the case rather than the traditional bottom slot. This vertical integration allows the slim 18x13x4-inch chassis to accommodate massive professional-grade hardware, specifically the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell GPU, within a mere four-inch thickness.

The design utilizes perforated side panels for optimal airflow to both the GPU and the AIO liquid cooler. The system is a powerhouse, built on a Mini-ITX motherboard and supporting flagship processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 9550X or Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. With a starting price of $2,000 and availability slated for Q2 2026, the Vector challenges conventional PC building norms, offering a compact form factor without sacrificing high-end component compatibility or thermal performance.
