The Infinite X features a more traditional tower design, but still packs a few cool tricks up its sleeve. You get Mystic Light RGB illumination, MSI award-winning graphics card and Intel’s 8th Generation CPU cooled by MSI’s Silent Storm Cooling 3 Pro liquid cooling system. Available in either dual steel or dual tempered glass side panels, the Infinite X allows you to show off the hardware inside, or not. Of course, MSI has also bundled it with Audio Boost, Game Boost, blazing fast storage configurations and Nahimic, to give you an extra edge in gaming.
