General
There's no point in resisting this Borg Cube PC.

I discovered that the Star Trek Borg PC (opens in new tab) is available for purchase in the US. While some options do not include a graphics card, the manufacturer has at least saved us the trouble of trying to figure out how the motherboard is supposed to mount there in space.

Additionally, a Borg Cat Statue (opens in new tab) is available for $40.

These cases really showcase the fearsome beauty of the Borg Cube, and there is also a "scratched" ATX Picard Borg Cube case (opens in new tab). Prebuilt configuration options include last generation CPUs from both AMD and Intel, and both ATX and ITX form factors.

One GPU-equipped option is the RTX 3050-powered Artefact Borg Cube (opens in new tab) in an ATX form factor, with RGB-lit windows in some corners; Intel Core i5 12400 and 480GB NVMe SSD and is a bit pricey at $1,300 for a previous generation machine, but that's the price you pay for perfect assimilation.

At the top end, there is a gorgeous water-cooled white version for $4,100 (open in new tab) with a Core i9 12900K, RTX 3090, 2TB of NVMe storage, and 64GB of DDR5 RAM. Whether we'd recommend this at this price remains to be seen, but it looks fantastic.

Amazingly, the Micro Cube MK II (opens in new tab) costs $800, and although it has no GPU, this lovely translucent little machine has an Intel Core i7 12700, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1TB of NVMe storage. There are configurations below that, but the price isn't bad, especially if you're getting a custom PC case.

Sadly, the $900 Ryzen 5 5600 version (opens in new tab) only comes with a GTX 1660 Super.

Greebles and all, these are very exciting looking cases with a great range of configuration options. Even if it perfectly mimics everyone's favorite Hive Mind Alien ship.
