gives it a spacecraft-like casing that glows with customizable
ARGB (Addressable RGB) lighting bars and RGB LED fans.
The prominent side window showcases the impressive interior

solution that separates the system into several thermal zones,
each with an individual airflow tunnel.

side panel to show off its powerful internals and includes the
IceTunnel 2.0 airflow management design to keep the system
cool.
Powered by 9th Gen Intel Core desktop processors, the Predator
