Razers new modular pc project
I dont know if you have heard about this guys but Razer is working on a new thing called "project christine"
Its a fully modular computer that is meant to be easy to use and to swithc parts in.
Its like a big hub where you just put in the modules you want.
Concept Project Christine
Earlier today I also heard they are thinking on some kind of subscribtion service, aka you pay for the pc per month and they make sure that the pc is top notch. Whenever a newer part is available you get it and replace the older one.
I personally think its a great and modern idea, if they manage to do it right. The only thing Im worried about is if they will be able to get the hardware companies behind them. And then we got what I fear the most, that the cost will be outrageous, razer arent exactly known for being cheap 0.o
(edit, this is still in project phase so things are still able to change, including the design(which I actually like))
So what are your thoughts, personally this is much more interesting than the steam box.
-
That looks pretty cool.
The subscription service also sounds interesting, I wonder how much It would be.
-
its like legos! haha
looks pretty neat though. maybe some people would prefer this? it looks easy
-
Definitely wouldn't be able to afford it probaly will stick with my good old regular pc
Hmm I bet it will be super outpriced!

Im afraid that you are probably right. :/

It's really not that powerful and it only has 1 fan...ridiculous.

That's what I'm wondering. Depending on the cost, this could be totally worthwhile. The concept is freaking awesome! I'm really curious to see how this plays out. Definitely going to keep an eye on it :)

Actually each module got its own closed liquid cooling system-

I'm going to try an predict the future here.
For the price, I think it's going to be a lot cheaper to rent the Modular PC than trying to keep buying the top of the line parts. Most new CPU's and GPU's are 400 or 500 when they're top of the line. I still think it will be cheaper to buy a normal decent PC, one that will play games on max graphics which is normally what everyone buys. When new top of the line parts come out they're normally way over the performance needed to play a game. You can normally get a part for half the price and still get good FPS in games.
So for people already buying the new parts when they come out I think the modular PC will be a lot cheaper. But for us normal folks who only upgrade a part once every 2 or 3 years, I think it will be more pricey.

C'mon. Razer has been making gaming hardware for over 15 years now. Now they’re developing their own modular computer… Do you really think they’re that stupid? And it’s not really that powerful? Did I miss the specs or something because I don’t think they had any listed anywhere…. The reason for that being that it’s CUSTOMIZABLE. Just like everyyyyyyyy other computer out there. You make it as powerful as you want.

I totally agree. When most new pieces of hardware come out, they are hundreds of dollars a pop. To keep up with that, the monthly sub fee for keeping it fully upgraded would have to be insane. I think the concept is freaking amazing, but at the same time I don’t think I’d go for the monthly sub fee service. I’d buy a model that I liked and then just upgrade on my own as I felt like I needed it. I also think that the overall cost no matter what will be higher than a normal PC. Each module having its own liquid cooling system? Definitely going to be more pricey than a normal piece of hardware.

Lol Mizel go easy on jax he doesn't know much about computers!

Just trying to point out that it's helpful to thoroughly read the sources provided and what the thread is about before commenting :]

I wonder how they will keep everything regulated and up to date like it will take a week for them to send you another part and then you have to send back your old 1 and how would they keep the water cooling all good from what I've heard and seen about water cooling that its something to keep an eye on and always make sure it's running ok how will you do that if the parts are enclosed? So many question lol sounds like gamefly to me but with expensive parts lol.

Ok your right but...Somehow I don't see any serious PC gamer buying this if it ever went into production unless you could open up the modules and put your own components in them.
I agree with this^^^

Well I'm sorry...I looked on Instagram and I just saw the back didn't notice it was liquid cooled

Really jax really an Xbox or a ps4 is the same thing as that but that's 10x more powerful there are "serious gamers" that play Xbox and ps and it will probaly run on win 8 and 7 whichever you prefer so how do you not see serious gamers playing them not trying to be mean but just like Mizel said you need to make sure you know what your talking about

I just found some information about it, I will just quote it here(most of it already stands in the link I posted on the thread-start).
"The PC has traditionally been one of the most open platforms in all of technology. However, given the technical complexities of PC hardware, only the most hardcore enthusiasts have been able to take advantage of this openness to build, customize and continuously upgrade their PC desktop systems. The tremendous promise of the PC has remained underexploited by the vast majority of general consumers for more than 30 years, largely due to the convoluted hardware – knowing what does what, what works with what, and how to connect the pieces.
Project Christine is a revolutionary new concept design that will change the way users view PCs. It will allow any user to build and customize his or her PC in any configuration without any prior technical knowledge. Further, as new upgrades come to the market, the same PC can be easily and quickly upgraded without additional technical assistance and without the fear of incompatibility or obsolescence.
Project Christine’s modular design allows users to easily build their PCs by allowing them to select and install modules on-the-fly, whether it’s a CPU, GPU, or memory and storage configuration. The PCI-Express architecture of Project Christine automatically syncs components. Need more graphics processing power or storage? Easy – a user can slot-in additional graphics modules and add more storage by either swapping-out the existing storage drives or adding more modules. Equally exciting, Project Christine is able to run multiple operating systems that the user may require.
"
"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. Modules connected to the PCI-Express backbone can be added in any order or combination, featuring up to quad-SLI graphics, multiple SSD and RAID storage components, I/O and even power supplies, ensuring maximum flexibility.
The cable-less design of each sealed module is entirely self-contained and features active liquid cooling and noise cancelation, which allows Razer to factory overclock components without voiding warranties, safely and quietly. The system also features a touch-screen LCD display that indicates control and maintenance information.
“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 Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “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.”
Now I saw its a concept somputer, this might not even get into the stores but whatever happens its an interesting and useful idea.

I get what he's trying to say about the whole being able to replace the components in the modules yourself part. I do agree with that. This whole modular system is going to turn some people off if they can't purchase their own parts and put them in themselves. Mainly because it will inevitably be more expensive, but also because some people just love putting together/upgrading their PC's by hand. But we don't know how it's going to work yet. They may make the modular pieces so that they are able to be opened, they may not. Time will tell :]

And I agree with that but he said he would see people playing on pre-built machines and that he playa with a cyberpower

The more I read about this, the more excited I get. Not because I want to buy one ASAP.... but because the technology is awesome. And it means that more companies will try to follow suite and develop their own.

Let me rephrase myself my typing was off
He said he can't see serious gamers playing with this pre-built machine and jax plays with a pre-built cyber power machine.

I'm certainly intrigued. Price will be a pretty major factor but I'm intrigued.

I didn't even know you can replace stuff on it I mean the thing is weird looking!

Jackson please read the text with the post it's Modular I'm guessing you don't know what that means
4.
Computers. composed of software or hardware modules that can be altered or replaced without affecting the remainder of the system.
Which means they can be switched out and changed like a modular power supply it has ports to connect the wires you need. Where mine is like just a jumble of cables and I find somewhere to stick them if I'm not using them
