Pimax wants a spot under your television. The VR headset maker has unveiled the Spation, an upright desktop that packages full desktop-class graphics into a compact tower built for living room setups.
Pimax is pitching the machine directly at players who want enough power for demanding virtual reality without parking a full ATX tower in the lounge. Inside, the prebuilt configurations will ship with AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor paired with either an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. Backing up that hardware are 32GB of DDR5 memory, a 1TB solid-state drive, and a 1000W SFX power supply.
The layout takes obvious cues from small-form-factor builds. The enclosure uses an upright internal sandwich style, placing what appears to be a Mini-ITX board with two memory slots on one side and the discrete graphics card mounted flat on the opposite side via a PCIe riser cable. A cooling fan sits directly above the power supply, while ventilation runs through removable front and rear panels to keep air moving over the graphics hardware. Along with complete builds, Pimax plans to sell a barebones version where buyers supply their own graphics card, memory, and storage.
