Themed laptops are surely the latest trend if you want to show off your personal style. Major brands like Apple, ASUS, and HP are moving away from traditional black and silver to offer vibrant color options. This transition is now clawing its way into the gaming PC market, which is saturated with RGB-themed, predictable designs.
Case in point is the Chillblast and Aston Martin collaboration that resulted in a limited-edition collection of hand-built gaming PCs finished in the luxury automaker’s signature Iridescent Emerald paint. This not only makes these high-end PCs great for automotive lovers but also for those who have always wanted a classy gaming setup at home.
The collaboration is not limited to adding a logo to the PC cabinet; Chillblast team has also worked alongside Aston Martin’s CMF specialists to create a gaming PC that mimics one of their sports cars. The chassis integrates design DNA and paint finishes directly from Aston Martin’s sports cars, while brushed metal buttons replicate the metallic switches and trim of a supercar dashboard.
The vibrant color is a modern take on British Racing Green, enhanced with a gold xirallic pigment that creates bronze highlights, giving off the sense of movement even when the car is standing still. It’s not just the sleek Aston Martin-themed color that makes the collection stand out. The gaming PCs also feature leather detailing and wooden elements that are commonly not used by most tech hardware brands. Two of the models feature a rustic wooden front, while the flagship model is distinguished by using a water cooling system.
Another cool design element is the inclusion of a Cryo Display alongside the graphics card and processor inside the CPU unit. This 5-inch screen showcases their temperatures in real-time so that you can keep a check on your PC’s performance easily. As expected, you can spot the Aston Martin logo in the front center, reflecting its direct connection to the brand’s design philosophy.

The Chillblast x Aston Martin collection is equipped with components from Gigabyte, Kingston, and Fractal Design. As to my curiosity, some people on the web are even finding it a painted cabinet by Fractal Design, but it is hard to clarify that from just the pictures. So, how the maker is justifying the high price of these gaming PCs will be a matter of concern for its buyers out there.
The Chillblast and Aston Martin PC lineup comprises three models, each featuring different specifications to cater to different user requirements. The Signature and Limited Edition models are powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2 to 4TB of SSD storage.
The pricing starts from £3,749 ($5,000) for the basic model, going up to £15,999 ($21,347) for the Signature water-cooled variant.
