Eluktronics HYDROC-16 G2
Boutique DTC (liquid-cooled)
Eluktronics' liquid-cooled flagship pairs an RTX 5090 (175 W MAX-P) with a 48 GB / 300 Hz QHD package and a clean, bloatware-free Windows install. The HYDROC closed-loop cooling and aluminum chassis are the headline, with pricing from $2,599 for the RTX 5080 base config. The catch for buyers: as a boutique direct-to-consumer brand it had no independent review at research time, so the specs are largely manufacturer-stated.
