    Default A Razer Chassis...Finally

    And I do not like it, still in concept stages though.

    Not a fan at all.

    Where's the heat dispersion? No fans? Is that supposed to be like one giant heatsink?

    Mineral oil cooling.

    'The hell is that thing...

    It'll probably break in a month knowing Razer's latest build quality standards

    Not a fan (see what I did there, eh?). Fractal Design Define R4 for me, thanks.

    Also, are all the parts custom, using that modular design? If so, that'll cost a fortune.

    EDIT: It's cooled by mineral oil, WTF!?! This is some space age shit.



    It's definitely interesting. I still think we're at least 5 - 10 years away from it becoming a commercial possibility, but we'll see...

    Oh my...now that is going to be interesting.

    Are there any oil cooled commercial PC systems available aside from this? Last I heard its such a disaster in terms of practicality that only the most hardcore modders dare try...

    Also...the image is labelled "PSU Water cooling" so the oil cooling isn't quite as certain.

    I don't know about this.

    THE WORLD’S MOST MODULAR PC DESIGN
    ...with a proprietary interface...lols.

    The freedom to buy any brand of box and stick any brand of components in there seems a lot more customizable to me...

    If intel pushed something like this then I could maybe see it happening despite the abundance of uhm challenges, but Razer...not so much. The one product I bought from them (Naga mouse) was defective from day one (the famous scroll wheel issue) - only reason I didn't return it is that this would involve me interacting with Esquire again...which is most definitely not happening. edit...scroll wheel aside I like the mouse.

    Now imagine this combined with steamOS for a steam box in the living room. You have a console that you can build to suit your needs but also simplified to be easy for any living room user to plug and play upgrades.
    I think that combo would own the living room gamer market.

    I also like the modular mineral cooling nodes, you can sell your 2nd hand hardware without handing over a greasy GPU. Plus it's the most effective way to cool a pc so it's all good IMO.

    My issue is that razer is expensive and I see this being priced like an Alienware PC, therefore I doubt you could sell your modules 2nd hand. That I think it may be hard to justify the price for your getting, a 760 module priced like a titan.

    Still I will follow this and see where it goes because I think as a concept it is brilliant.

    I would have said a mother board/psu combo, the rest is like a DLC

    Reminds me a lot of the Thermaltake Level 10 chassis.

    Razer pricing, modular design, limited partners for PCB production could equate to a massive price.

    Imagine the cost of a gpu unit vs. a gpu. I will rather stick to conventional methods for now.

    Then again with the new APU from AMD and Nvidia's 800 series taking less load off of the CPU this could be going somewhere.
