Asus has revealed<\/strong> <\/a>Project Avalon, a cable-free modular gaming PC that makes upgrading easy.<\/p>\n

The innovative design was unveiled during the Asus ROG press conference at Computex 2016.<\/p>\n

Asus has designed a unique motherboard and chassis combination aimed at DIY hardware enthusiasts and gamers.<\/p>\n

The Avalon motherboard is different from a traditional gaming motherboard, as it allows gamers to remove and replace certain parts, such as front and rear I\/O panels.<\/p>\n

Components are connected via edge connecters as oppose to cables,\u00a0ranging from the PCI boards to the power supply.<\/p>\n

The only component that still uses a cable is the graphics card, as Asus has not yet managed to eliminate the need for auxiliary GPU power cables.<\/p>\n

However, this issue can\u00a0be currently circumvented by using a power-efficient\u00a0card such as\u00a0the GTX 950 2GD5 OCV3<\/strong><\/a>, which does not require auxiliary power.<\/p>\n

The project is still a prototype which showcases the possible future of DIY gaming systems.<\/p>\n
