CPS PCCOOLER, a brand best known for its gaming PC coolers and cases, has announced a new modular PC in the form of its new Fusion Core Series (FC300-CS) all-in-one solution. Like several solutions that integrate a mini PC into a display stand, the key difference here is that it brings a level of customization you normally find only in the desktop DIY space.
The Fusion Core Series (FC300-CS) takes a two-in-one approach to its physical design: a 27-inch display that connects to a PC Host via a standard VESA mount. This means you can swap out the display for something else, while the compact PC Host offers expandable memory and storage thanks to dual SO-DIMM DDR5 memory slots (supporting speeds up to 5600MHz), a single M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, and a single SATA Gen3 port.
It's an impressive design: the compact all-in-one Fusion Core Series (FC300-CS) PC from CPS PCCOOLER ships with a 12-core, 14-thread Intel Core Ultra 5 125U processor (Meteor Lake), 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and 512GB of storage. The IPS display offers 2560x1440 (2K) resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, and 350 nits of peak brightness.
It also offers plenty of expansion options, including USB ports, 3.5mm audio, and wired and wireless networking (Wi-Fi 6). Overall, its sleek design adds customization and upgradability thanks to its modular build. As a brand-new design without a price, the product page lists only one set of specs for the hardware configuration. Although the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U processor handles day-to-day productivity, we'd also like to see a variant with a GPU that offers more power for creator-focused workloads and even PC gaming.
