Corsair's big thing right now is about using their components as the basis for your new PC. This Windows 7, DirectX 11, Core i7 gaming PC that we built for them to take to tradeshows is a great example of their new philosophy of choosing reputable parts to build your own "brand name" PC.
Linus Tech Tips examines Corsair's Dream PC concept by presenting a complete build assembled with Corsair and partner components for use at trade shows. The video walks through the core hardware: an Intel Core i7 975 processor on an Extreme series motherboard, Windows 7 with DirectX 11, and Corsair cooling via the H50 liquid cooler. Linus highlights Corsair memory and storage selections, including a 6-channel Dominator memory kit and a Corsair branded solid-state drive, while also noting Corsair’s five-year warranty on the power supply and lifetime warranties on other Corsair parts. He emphasizes the philosophy of choosing reputable brand-name parts to form a cohesive build with strong aftermarket support, and explains how such a kit supports warranty coverage and service across the system. The build features a hot swap drive bay for easy maintenance, triple 120 mm LED cooling, and thoughtful cable management that looks clean despite minimal effort. Overall, the video frames the Dream PC as a modular, high-quality, brand-aligned system designed for show floors, with practical notes on cooling, layout, and expandability that reflect Corsair’s branding strategy.
