Razer Core X eGPU is a little less stylish but a lot cheaper
Razer's new eGPU cuts some frills off of the Core v2 but retains its essential design sense.

Basic box
It's not plugged in here, but even if it were it wouldn't have any of Razer's Chroma fancy lighting schemes.
Slide-out tray
Razer incorporates a slide-out tray and thumbscrews for easy card swaps.
Wider
It's about 2 inches wider on the outside than the slim Core v2.
Vents everywhere
To accommodate the heat generated if there's two or three cards in the box, there's airflow everywhere.
Power
The Core X has a 650-watt power supply to handle the load.
Slide out
The handle pulls the tray with the card slots out of the box.
Slide-out tray, redux
Imagine how much pet hair this thing can accumulate.
Unobtrusive
If you're using the eGPU for work rather than play, its low-key design won't draw any attention.
USB-C/Thunderbolt 3
The Core X connects via Thunderbolt 3, and can provide power to charge a laptop as well.
