All the Coolest PC Hardware at Intel Developer Forum 2016

Intel's annual Intel Developer Forum is happening this week in San Francisco, California, and we took a camera out to take pictures of all the coolest PC rigs and hardware we could find.

Pictured above is a rig with In Win's 805 case, which is nicknamed the "black hole" chassis because it creates an optical illusion where the lights on the front of the case look like they are fading into oblivion.

At Corsair's booth, the company was showing off its new Vengeance LED RAM sticks, which light up in a variety of colors.

Here are the Vengeance LED sticks in a brightly-lit Corsair Carbide 600C build.

G.Skill was also showing off some new RAM. Here we have 128GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3333MHz.

Here's a closer look at G.Skill's new TridentZ RAM kit.

G.Skill also has a 64GB RAM kit, which has faster 13-13-13-33 RAM timings.

A Corsair Spec Alpha build.

It might be hard to tell from this image, but this EVGA Hadron Air build is a really small Mini-ITX PC.

Intel was showing off its Skull Canyon NUC, which is a lightweight gaming PC running off of Intel's high-end integrated Iris Pro graphics. The system uses laptop RAM and can be equipped with an NVMe SSD over the M.2 standard. It also supports Thunderbolt through USB-C, so you can use an external graphics dock like the Razer Core with it.

This Corsair Graphite Series 380T Mini-ITX build is shaped a lot like an old-school boombox.

Gigabyte was showing off its new X99-Designare EX motherboard in this Corsair 780T chassis. The system also has three Windforce GeForce GTX 980 Tis in SLI, which is not too shabby.

While IDF is an Intel event, AMD decided to crash the party by hosting its own event in a hotel down the road from IDF to show off its new upcoming Zen CPUs. Here's a gaming rig with the company's new 8-core, 16 thread Summit Ridge processor. AMD showed off the CPU beating Intel's $1,000 Broadwell-E 6900K chip in a benchmark on stage.
