PC company Hyte and Vtuber agency Hololive production have announced a very special collaboration during Anime Expo 2022. Hyte is producing a limited edition Y60 PC case with an art collaboration of the Hololive character Baelz.
Here is an overview from Hyte:
HYTE, the new PC components, peripherals, and lifestyle brand of iBUYPOWER, a leading manufacturer of high-performance custom gaming PCs, is thrilled to announce the Hakos Baelz Collab-Limited Edition of the popular Y60 PC case, which was created in cooperation with hololive English team, represented by the COVER Corporation from Japan. Visitors of Anime Expo 2022, held in Los Angeles from July 1 through July 4, can get a first-hand experience of the new Y60 Hakos Baelz edition at the HYTE/iBUYPOWER booth #E-15 in Entertainment Hall where her specific system will be built live during the show for all to see.
"I'm super happy to be part of this collaboration with iBUYPOWER and totally psyched that Rosuuri put together such a cute artwork of me! I hope these products will imbue you all with unlimited chaotic energy to take down your foes and stay ahead of the game!", said Hakos Baelz.
Hakos Baelz Y60 PC Case
HYTE delivers a unique concept with the Y60 which has pushed the envelope in the PC case market. One of the key highlights of the Y60 is the bezel-less design, comprised of three removable, tempered glass panels that flank the side and front of the case. Chamfered molding on the ceiling and floor of the Y60 further underlines the modern aesthetic and puts built-in components into a new perspective. For the Hakos Baelz Y60 limited edition case, HYTE has teamed up with famous VTuber Hakos Baelz and illustrator Rosuuri to create a unique version of the Y60 which will be available in a limited quantity of 3,000 pieces to the worldwide community. An additional 400 pieces will be available via iBUYPOWER.com for use in exclusive pre-built Gaming PC systems in late September/early October 2022.
“Our collaboration with Hakos Baelz and hololive English is truly the first of its kind for our brands”, said King Perez de Tagle, Marketing Executive Producer of iBUYPOWER and HYTE. “We’ve captured the spirit of Bae perfectly in a fully featured, wrap-around-glass, design that only the HYTE Y60 case can accomplish. And we also could not think of a better time and place to share this worldwide reveal with fans than during Anime Expo 2022!”
The new Hakos Baelz Y60 PC Case features artwork from professional anime illustrator, Rosuuri, which displays Hakos Baelz prominently on the tempered-glass panels. Stuffed bears with "BRUH" on the vented back panel as well as the main illustration are applied using UV engraving technology for best quality and durability. Further key visuals include a Mr. Squeaks screen print in the top left corner, a Hakos Baelz x iBUYPOWER collaboration logo in the bottom right corner, and even a custom dice LED power switch.
