Thermaltake Revives Floppy Disks and CRT Monitors at Computex 2026

During the Taipei fair, we visited the Thermaltake stand, a manufacturer boasting decades of experience in the hardware sector. To celebrate both the glorious past of PCs and the latest innovations in the DIY field, the company presented a truly interesting range of products with a design fundamentally inspired by the golden age of personal computers, but let's go step by step.

Among the most interesting proposals is undoubtedly the Capo X Snow, a chassis that allows for the simultaneous installation of two independent systems in a single case. Of course, this is not exactly a novelty in this sense, as many full towers – particularly in the past – allowed for an additional micro-ATX configuration alongside the main build.

The innovation lies rather in the design: the Capo X Snow keeps both configurations visible inside an aquarium case with a single curved glass panel that covers both the side and front. The two motherboards are not separated but layered, creating a coherent and seamless internal appearance.

All of this combines with compact dimensions compared to traditional dual build chassis, being taller than a normal full tower, yet with depth and width – and thus ground surface – practically standard.

Equally interesting are the new power supplies from the DockPower series. This is a completely new concept for cable management. Essentially, the entire connection panel is fully removable, allowing for a more practical and simple management of power cable routing. Once all connections are made to the dock, you just need to snap it onto the power supply, and you're all set.

Now, let's talk about the nostalgic range that combines functionality and modern technology with a retro design inspired by the past: the Retro series. It starts with cases, particularly the Retro 260 TG, a Mini-ATX model we had already seen, to which the new Retro 360 TG compact variant dedicated to Micro-ATX systems is added.

Alongside the vintage-looking chassis, which do not renounce a tempered glass side panel for a view of the hardware, this year we have the new AIO systems from the Retro Ultra series. The coolers feature a square display around which sits a plate in the style of an old-school desktop setup: a horizontal chassis with a floppy disk and a CRT monitor beneath which is positioned a 3.7-inch square LCD screen.

Solutions that, when combined, certainly do not go unnoticed and guarantee a pleasant dive into the past. Furthermore, the radiators will be available in two variants, with 240mm or 360mm radiators, namely Retro 360 Ultra ARGB Sync and Retro 240 Ultra ARGB Sync.

Completing Thermaltake's stand is the MINECUBE 360 Ultra ARGB Sync, which is a cooler that places a structure with four 3.95-inch LCD panels above the water block, and a new offering with a 360mm radiator that instead features a single rotatable panel, but with OLED technology.
