Death Stranding’s official PC case needs more BB Boys, if you ask meWhere’s my water cooled BB jar?
Where’s my water cooled BB jar?
Don’t get me wrong. If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d be tempted to get one of these official Death Stranding cases myself. I love all the little details, from the orange fan vents running up the front side of the case, the big red and white stripes and ‘Special Delivery Team’ logo on the front, the actual orange fan in its rear exhaust, and to the “Caution: Confirm Connector Orientation” lettering around the USB ports. Equally, though, I sort of wish it also looked likethis custom fan-made caseinside, because come on, everyone knows that the pumps from a CPU water cooler are pretty much the spitting image of Sam and BB’s chest tube.
Alas, we’ll have to make do with this Tsukumo case for now, which, let me reiterate, is still very handsome. Based on Fractal Design’sDefine 7 Compact, the Death Stranding case supports ATX, micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards (and ATX power supplies), and measures 474 x 210 x 427mm. It also comes with seven 120mm fan mounts (or four 140mm and two 120mm, depending on the size of your fans), two 3.5in HDD mounts and two dedicated 2.5in SSD mounts. There’s a good selection of front I/O ports, too, including one USB Type-C port, two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, dedicated headphone and microphone jacks, plus your usual power and reset buttons.

Tsukumo have also said that they’re planning to release two fully specced desktop models that will be tailor made for playing Death Stranding (including the custom case), although sadly these will only be available in Japan. These will be entirely AMD-based machines (which is quite odd, considering Death Stranding is one of the few NvidiaDLSS gamesavailable right now), with the standard model coming with a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, 16GB of RAM and an RX 6700 XT graphics card, and the ‘upper’ spec bumping all that up to a Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB of RAM and an RX 6800 XT.
