Razer details modular PC concept
At this year's CES, Razer has released details regarding their latest concept, a modular desktop PC called Project Christine.
It's a desktop gaming rig made by hardware manufacture Razer, and the basis of the concept is to simplify the process of upgrading your home gaming rig. If it becomes a reality, gamers will be able to upgrade their GPU (up to quad-SLI graphic configurations), CPU, storage (multiple SSD and RAID components) or memory just by swapping over modules. Project Christine will also be able to run multiple operating systems, which might become more important to gamers once SteamOS gets a foothold in the market.
"The modularity of Project Christine make it perpetually customizable, offering plug-and-play upgradability as new and improved technology evolves, ostensibly eliminating the need to replace entire systems," it states in the announcement. Razer also makes mention of a touch-screen LCD display, active liquid cooling, PCI-Express architecture, and a cable-less design.
"Project Christine is a new concept design that will revolutionize the way users view the traditional PC. This is the first gaming system that is able to keep pace with technology and could allow consumers to never buy another PC, or gaming system, again," says CEO Min-Liang Tan. "We have a history of bringing incredibly innovative concept systems to market and it's fair to say that Project Christine is a very exciting new prospect for future development."
