Edifier's new wireless speaker looks like a gaming PC

"With RGB lighting, exposed electronics, and a full color screen inside a transparent enclosure, Edifier's latest desktop accessory can easily be mistaken for a decked out gaming PC. In reality, it's primarily a speaker that can connect to sources over Bluetooth, a USB cable, or an analog audio cable, as spotted by Notebookcheck. The Huazai New Cyber speaker is currently available in China 1,499 yuan, or around $210 in aurora white and phantom black color options."

"The Cyber speaker pairs a 4-inch subwoofer on the with three passive radiators to further boost lower frequencies and two 52mm mid-high range drivers. Those are all hidden on the lower half of the speaker behind a fabric screen, while the upper portion features electronics like amplifiers, a power supply, braided speaker cables, and a signal processor that are arranged and mounted to look like components you'll find inside a gaming PC such as a graphics card and memory slots."

"There are five circular RGB lighting elements with animated effects that make them appear to spin, mimicking the appearance of cooling fans, while a 2.8-inch screen can be used as a decorative element displaying images, screensavers, or custom messages. But it has some practical uses, too, such as showing performance metrics like CPU, RAM, and GPU usage while the speaker is connected to an actual computer with a USB cable, or song lyrics while streaming music from a smartphone."
