MSI has unveiled the Meg Trident X2 system at CES, available for pre-order. It features a cooling-focused design with mesh intakes and exhausts, a 280mm AIO, and an inverted GPU mounting. The specs include an Intel i9-13900KF, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM, 2TB PCIE 4.0 NVME SSD, and a front LCD display. Expansion options are available. The pre-order price is $4,699 US. The reviewer appreciates the features but has concerns about the 750W PSU and the high price compared to past high-end PCs.
