MSI Focused on Enthusiast Market With MAX PRO Hardware and More @ CES 2026
CES 2026: The eTeknix team is here at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, bringing you coverage of the latest, greatest, and next-generation of PC hardware, components, gaming tech, and much more! While we’re currently on the show floor taking many pictures and having meetings, we will endeavor to update our live gallery throughout the day, which you can check out here!
MSI
MSI has already impressed us with their bat*** insane MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G LIGHTNING Z, the final boss of RTX 5090 graphics cards. However, there’s more to MSI than just flagship GPUs. We got our first hands-on look at their new PRO MAX series, which we actually covered here. However, here’s some real world shots of those swanky new PRO MAX products live from the show floor!

Next up, we have their latest PC case, and while MSI aren’t best known for their PC cases, they do actually make some real works of art. The Maestro 900R certainly holds up that reputation, with its artistic design, and futuristic styling. Featuring curved glass, BTF support, a vertical GPU mount and more.
The 900R is also at the heart of some of their new pre-built gaming PCs, with the MEG X870E ACE MAX, GeForce RTX 5080 SUPRIM, MEG AI1600T PSU and MEG CORELIQUID E15 360 AIO cooler making up one of the best looking off-the-shelf PCs you’ll find today.
Especially with the E15 360 AIO, which features pre-installed fans, a new and improved radiator design, and of course, that lovely 2K wrap around display for showing system stats and animations.

MSI has a long history of one step overclocking tools, and their latest motherboard is no exception. There’s what looks like a TV remove stuck on the side of the motherboard, with a small display and some profile switches, allowing you to quickly enable profiles at the touch of a button; this could be great for overclockers and those seeking high scores in gaming and performance benchmarks.
They’re also taking a punt at the enthusiast cooling market with their new air coolers. We’ve seen coolers with displays in them before, but not from MSI. These new ones look stunning, with a futuristic and stylish block design on the top.
The display is vibrant and colourful, with a bit of a Cyberpunk vibe to it I think. Hopefully, we’ll see these on the market soon, as I’m a big fan of stylish air coolers!
