Razer's modular Project Christine makes building PCs as easy as building Legos
SourceIt’s a tree! It’s a ribcage! It’s...an incredibly modular desktop computer that allows users to easily swap in new components with minimal computer knowledge? And it’s designed by Razer?
Wow.
Razer’s calling the concept Project Christine, and promises to open up the full power of PC hardware even to those with no technical knowledge.
Each of the branches on this industrial tree is a discrete component—a CPU, a GPU, a hard drive, memory—that simply plugs into the central backbone. Once slotted in, Project Christine automatically syncs the newly added module through the magic of PCI-Express (the same bus that discrete graphics cards currently use).

That is cool but will probably be expensive because you do not have a choice for sourcing your bits. I like to buy when they offer specials - like today they had a 120GB SSD for $69 at Newegg. But you had to get up at 3AM EST because later they were already all sold out, LOL.
I think it was this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820721107
Great idea! Basically the same as Phonebloks but then for computers.
Too bad it's created by Razer. IMHO everything but their headsets is total crap, I mean, they use (and have admitted this) the people that purchase their products as beta testers and knowingly ship products that are a long way for being ready to be used by the general public.

Interesting, but I question the timing of this. We aren't we being conditioned to think of desktops as being obsolete?
