KFConsole With Built-in Chicken Warmer

At the beginning of the year KFC originally teased their gaming PC. Now we have the full details, Cooler Master and KFC have teamed up to unveil the KFConsole. They’ve created a bucket shaped gaming pc that has a built-in chicken warmer. It’s a seemingly bizarre concept that initially seemed like might be a joke, but it’s finally here. It’s pretty clear that this is primarily a Cooler Master PC with the KFC branding, though it works quite well and appears to be an original bucket design, which makes sense as I doubt they’ve had a need for a PC with a chicken warmer previously. However I would have liked to have seen them go all in on the KFC branding and make it look like an actual striped bucket, though I will admit the black and red is very sleek branding. What seems to be most impressive thus far is Cooler Master seems to have actually built a fairly capable gaming machine, it has a hot swappable NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU, though the exact model hasn’t been disclosed.

They claim that it will be VR ready and capable of ray tracing and 4K gaming at up to frame rates of 240 fps. The most distinguishing feature is the chicken warmer which will work through natural heat and airflow. It will be interesting to see how well the gaming PC works, and how well the chicken warmer works. There’s currently no word on price or if and when it will be on sale. However given the level of the specs on offer we should expect a pretty hefty price tag as achieving those performance targets isn’t cheap or easy.
