Digital Storm Unveils Vector and Aventum 5 Desktops at CES 2026, Packing RTX PRO 6000 Options and Flagship AMD and Intel CPUs
Digital Storm is leaning into a clear reality of the current PC cycle: modern GPUs and CPUs have become bigger, hotter, and more power hungry, and most system builders respond by going larger with full towers and oversized airflow focused cases. At CES 2026, Digital Storm is taking a different approach, announcing 2 new high end desktop lines that aim to shrink the physical footprint while still accommodating extreme components, and in the bigger configuration, pushing even harder on thermals with enthusiast class liquid cooling.
The first is the Digital Storm Vector, which stands out because of its compact, ultra slim chassis measured at 473 by 335 by 99 mm. That is a notably narrow profile compared to conventional towers, but Digital Storm says the design can still fit very high end GPUs, including up to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, and pair them with flagship consumer CPUs such as the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X or Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. The internal layout appears to mount the GPU along the top section while placing the motherboard, AIO, and supporting hardware in the lower section. This kind of dense packaging is usually where thermal headroom goes to die, but Digital Storm is explicitly claiming the Vector can manage heat, airflow, and noise effectively despite the tight dimensions, which is the core make or break promise for a slim high power system like this.
For buyers who want uncompromised performance and more tuning overhead, Digital Storm also introduced the Aventum 5. This is positioned as the larger, more extreme rig, built around an enthusiast grade custom liquid cooling solution designed to dissipate heat rapidly under sustained load. Based on the showcased imagery and positioning, Aventum 5 is not only targeting high end gaming, but also professional use cases that can benefit from multi GPU configurations. Digital Storm is also signaling a premium chassis feature set, including a large display integrated into the case itself for real time hardware monitoring and custom visuals, which fits the current trend of turning high end desktops into both performance workhorses and showcase builds.
Digital Storm says both the Vector and Aventum 5 will be offered in multiple configurations through its website, and that systems are expected to begin reaching retail availability in Q2 2026. If pricing lands competitively, Vector could become a compelling option for gamers and creators who want flagship performance without committing to a full tower footprint, while Aventum 5 is clearly aimed at buyers who want maximum sustained boost behavior and the thermal stability needed for heavy rendering, AI, or multi GPU compute workloads.
Engagement
Would you rather have a slim, compact powerhouse like the Vector if it truly stays cool and quiet, or do you still trust a larger liquid cooled rig like Aventum 5 more for long session stability?
