# Slim Formfactor PCs The Cryorig 'Taku' Slim Desktop PC Features Ample Space for Components By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-06-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-desktop-pc References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/cryorig-taku-flat-desktop-pc-case-unveiled-06-06-2016/) & [cryorig](http://www.cryorig.com/news.php?id=60&page=1) At first glance, the Cryorig 'Taku' slim desktop PC looks like a set top TV box, but it's only after a closer inspection that users can see that it's indeed ready for computing action. The Cryorig 'Taku' goes against the current design aesthetic in the PC market that focuses on cylindrical design. The Cryorig 'Taku' is meant to be placed directly on a desktop instead of below and setup with a monitor resting on the top portion. Strategically placed slots on the top portion of the Cryorig 'Taku' slim desktop PC enable cords to be fed out of the case without having to make USB or other ports inherently obvious. The Cryorig 'Taku' case is currently in the prototype phase with the product expected to release in 2017. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Slim Formfactor Pcs:** Designing PCs with slim formfactors can disrupt the traditional cylindrical design aesthetic in the PC market. - **Ample Space for Components:** Creating slim desktop PCs with ample space for components can offer a unique solution for users with limited desk space. - **Strategically Placed Slots:** Incorporating strategically placed slots in slim desktop PCs can improve cable management and create a cleaner aesthetic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **PC Manufacturing:** PC manufacturers can explore the production of slim formfactor PCs to cater to customers who prefer sleek and space-saving designs. - **Computer Accessories:** Companies specializing in computer accessories can develop innovative cable management solutions to complement the trend of slim formfactor PCs. - **Office Furniture:** Office furniture manufacturers can design desks and workstations that are specifically tailored to accommodate the use of slim formfactor PCs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Power Compact PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-ultracompact-pcs.md) - [Minimalist Mini-ITX PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ncore-100-max.md) - [Mini-Sized Desktop Gaming PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wee-beastie.md) - [Miniature Vertical PC Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-mood.md) - [Minimalist Computer Chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-2.md) - [Compact High-Performance Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-highperformance-computer.md) - [Design-Conscious Mini Desktop PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-mini-pc-am03.md) - [Retro-Inspired Custom PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silverstone-flp03.md) - [Minimalist Professional PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyte-revolt-3-itx-pc-case.md)
