Recent reports indicate that Kubb, a mini-PC manufacturer based in Toulouse, France, completed a custom order for a client who wanted to replace the aluminum radiator of their machine with a component made from 13 kilograms of gold. Initially, the estimated value of the system was reported as around 1.7 million dollars, based on the market price of 13 kg of raw gold. However, Kubb has clarified that the radiator, which served as the case of the computer, was not made of solid gold. Instead, it was constructed using a material machined with computer numerical control (CNC), with only a thin layer of gold applied by a French luxury artisan. This clarification significantly reduces the financial value attributed to the system, as the cost of applying a thin layer of gold is much lower than purchasing 13 kg of raw gold. The computer, apart from its unique gold-plated finish, follows the standard design of Kubb's usual product line. These are compact, passive machines that measure 12 cm on each side and are designed to operate silently without the need for a fan. Depending on the configuration, the machines can be equipped with processors such as the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, or AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, along with integrated graphics. They also feature DDR5 memory, starting at 16 GB and expandable up to 128 GB, and a 1 terabyte PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive (SSD). The systems come with full connectivity options for monitors and peripherals. In addition to this particular model, Kubb offers a range of other versions and customization options, including materials like wood, leather, and various types of plating. One of the available models includes a Core i5-1235U processor, 16 GB of DDR4 memory, and 480 GB of storage with Wi-Fi capabilities. The starting price for these machines is set at 1,595 euros, though the product is currently out of stock. The company's ability to offer highly customizable and aesthetically unique machines has made it a popular choice among enthusiasts and professionals looking for both performance and design.
