Vas ist das? Das ist Tryx Vas. Okay, that kind of worked, if you excuse my substitution of a W for a V. Yes, this is the Tryx Vas, an incredibly smart-looking chassis that our Jacob Ridley just sent us some enticing pictures of from the show floor of Computex 2026.
We don't have much more to go off than the pictures, unfortunately, as the little placard that usually gives the specifications says the following:
"VAS is a pure artistic craftsmanship project by Tryx + 12Square. Blending technology and art, it features an all-metal design of stainless steel and aluminium, shaped through precise bending and cutting techniques. A unique three-dimensional art piece dedicated to spaces that pursue ultimate aesthetic beauty."
My main recollection of Tryx's products is a fabric case seen at last year's Computex. But I reckon this new one outshines that.
The briefcase-alike PC case does look to be a Mini-ITX affair, judging by the size of the chassis compared to its I/O ports on the rear. In addition to ventilation slots, it has a giant intake fan on the side, directly on top of the motherboard, and it looks like the GPU sits behind the mobo itself, presumably with the PSU at the opposite end to the I/O.
Those are just my best guesses, though, because the insides are all blocked off by the steel. Which itself looks very plain, as it should for a build like this.
I must say, though, my brain can't quite make out whether it says 'smart briefcase' or 'industrial air conditioning unit', but hey, that could be a selling point in itself. If you squint, it even has an air of blower-style GPU to it... okay, maybe I'm reaching a little with that one.
