The Beast is the culmination of a long process of reflection carried out at MonsterLabo over the past 2 years. Deeply rooted in MonsterLabo DNA, The Beast meets our #1 commitment: build the most premium and powerful PCs without moving parts.
A first production batch of The Beast was launched in 2020 and it is now back on Indiegogo with an updated design, extended graphics cards compatibilities and exclusive options.

"So huge that we can't find words to describe them" - Mantidor CCL
The Beast is composed of:
- 2x giant heatsinks (3 kg each) passively cooling the electronics,
- 20x 6mm heat pipes, 10x for each chip. Hell yeah, we know, not bad for a PC!
- 6x copper thermal drains connecting the heatsinks to the 6mm width aluminum front and back panels for enhanced thermal spreading.

"Don't forget to mention EKWB" - EKWB
If you ever plan to build a fanless case, no matter the size of the heatsink, you should always pay careful attention to the cooling of the VRM’s and memories of your graphics card.
=> We made a very special work for high TDP graphics cards.
Thanks to our collaboration with EKWB, The Beast comes with a full covering spreader made of copper for boards with a TDP higher than 220W.
From the RTX 3070 to the RTX 3090 get a complete passive cooling solution. Our solution is also compatible with EKWB backplates.

"Impressively with all of this in place" - Kitguru
With The Beast, we want our users to be free to choose any components they want, without limit! Thanks to our innovative electronic mounting system, The Beast is compatible with the vast majority of motherboards (mini-ITX up to ATX) and graphics cards (PCB with a maximum length of 290 mm after removing the factory cooling). LGA 1150-1151-1200-2066, AM3-3+-AM4-4+-TR4 and previous generations are compatible. The Beast is already compatible with LGA 1700.
Check our compatible list here.
The Beast also supports SFX, SFX-L and ATX full length power supplies (fanless PSU recommended). Finally, 4 slots for 140mm fans are available with The Beast. But you know that's cheating.

Is that a fan?!
Special note: we recommend to not use HDDs (at all). They tend to be very loud, especially into a fanless case (= 0dB). We mean it.
A dedicated location at the back of the case can also conveniently be used for a PCI card extension.

"A racing machine running at 0dB" - 01net.com
The Beast has been designed to run fully passively. The slots for the fans can be used to increase the power of the processor and the graphics card. But The Beast remains a fanless case and we recommend to not install fans to completely enjoy the experience.
Maximum TDP (passive configuration)
CPU = 150W
GPU = 250W
Maximum TDP (active configuration)
CPU = 200W
GPU = 300W
A passive configuration requires a good selection of the components. Whatever the components, the coil whine is more common with low and mid-range electronics (mostly with the GPUs but also with the power supplies and the motherboards). This is due to the price optimization regarding the dedicated components for the voltage regulation. Choosing premium components will prevent you from coil whine.
For those who want to assemble extreme components (over passive TDP), an optimization of the voltage and the power of the components is mandatory.
The first reason - obviously - is to respect the TDP of the coolers. This will prevent throttling but also reduce the temperature of your system.
The second reason is that reducing the voltage of the processor and/or the graphics card (and so the power supply) will avoid having coil whine. By optimizing the power consumption of CPU, GPU and so PSU, the coil whine simply disappears (coil vibration decreases). With a same card, you can have coil whine at full charge, but nothing at a lower power.

"It is an unbelievable experience to be using this type of machine in a completely silent manner" - Christopher
There are many differences between a fanless PC and a silent PC.
Did you ever wonder why a fanless PC has not dust inside?
The dust can’t go into your Beast from the bottom because it needs to be sucked at higher air speed (>2m/s) than the natural airflow into the case (<1m/s). This natural airflow will also avoid dust that could come from the top of the case - the dust can’t be scattered. Of course, if the case is not used for several months, dust will get into the case.
The use of fans, as with any other case, will allow dust to gather into your case, because of the blades that can suck dust in from the floor/desk.
If you plan to use fans into your Beast and need to add a dust filter, since The Beast is made of steel, you can easily place one at the bottom of your case mounted with magnets.
Passive = No breakdown
For those who experienced a leak with their watercooling, it is easy to understand how reliable can be a fanless PC. Without moving parts, the lifetime of the case is almost infinite with no risk of breakdown, while a silent PC will always need (at least) a fan or any active cooling to keep the components cooled.
At the end, having 0dB with a fanless PC is simply a consequence of the advantages explained before. Of course, a silent PC can be almost inaudible, but will still get dust and moving parts. While a fanless PC will be clean, reliable and absolutely noiseless. Pretty cool, no?

"I'm amazed by the amount of work a small team like yours achieved" - Laurent
MonsterLabo was launched in 2018 by 4 PC builder enthusiasts (and also gamers for some of them!), each bringing its expertise into the company. The First (mini-ITX) was created in 2018. The Beast v1 (ATX) was launched in 2020 with a first pre-production batch delivered in 2021.

"The packaging you guys use is oddly satisfying. I've never seen craft-paper tape before." - Matt
At MonsterLabo, we take great care of the environment and made our products fully dismountable. No parts are crimped, only screwed. By getting a fully dismountable case, you make it customizable but also repairable.
No need to thrash your PC when a part is damaged. Simply replace it!

We also do our best to get as less waste as possible. Packaging is made of recycled cardboard and the material used to prevent any movement during transport is made of recovered foams and boxes used by our suppliers.
Please, follow our path and try to reuse or recycle packaging parts.

The Beast isn't available with discount prices. Simply because The Beast isn't a concept or a prototype. We already perfectly know the cost of each part and also know each additional cost like shipping, raw material increase or taxes. Offering discount prices would force us to virtually increase the price of The Beast (already sold last year) and that's definitely not an option for us. That's why our perks have the same price but different delivery times. Below our cost breakdown based on 400 Beast (no electronics).

Traditionally, a crowdfunding campaign proposes an idea to future users who will finance its development until it becomes a product.
With The Beast, all these steps have already been achieved thanks to our first customers who believed in our product and financed the first production batch.
So why a campaign, knowing that we will loose about 10% of our revenue in taxes?!
The experience of the first batch has taught us that a sprawl of orders inevitably slows the launch into production. Indeed, a production is launched when an MOQ is reached but it is difficult to imagine a date for this level. In fact, the time between ordering and delivery tended to lengthen considerably because of this difficult date to anticipate. The result can be a painful experience for the user.
By bringing all orders together in a short period of time, with an end date, we can start production faster and meet our deadlines more easily. This allows us to better envision the year 2021-2022.

The most crucial steps in creating a product have already been taken with The Beast.
Indeed, the suppliers are those with whom we have been working since 2018, and a first batch has already been delivered to our users. This first round allowed us to identify points to improve in our process, which will allow us to gain efficiency with new orders.
However, certain aspects cannot be fully anticipated, in particular the price and duration of freight which has tended to increase sharply for several months. As a precaution, we have doubled the usual deadlines in our schedule and double the charges we might paid.
The availability of electronics is also a sensitive subject. We now have trusted partners who guarantee the availability of pre-ordered parts, but we have nevertheless severely limited the number of units available during the campaign.
Our biggest challenge with this campaign is to be able to raise enough funds in order to 1 / be able to produce enough parts in advance to have stock and no longer go through a crowdfunding campaign, 2 / be able to reimburse the start-up accelerator who lent us funds in 2018 to launch the company and 3 / to be able to generate a second salary. Indeed, currently, only 1 person is paid at MonsterLabo, the CEO is a volunteer!
