IM GEEKING OUT MAN! · 7:40am Mar 3rd, 2015
So i was doing research for my IST/iSTEM class today and i found something that brought a tear to my eye after finding its full potential...
For those who are not adept in all things computers ill quote one of project Christine's developers. "its everything you need in PC customization. with the ease of LEGO"
This thing is a DESKTOP TOWER that consists of components that are self contained and liquid cooled WITH [PROFANITY CENSORED] BUILT IN OVERCLOCKING TOGGLES!!!!
This is the future of computers people. its prototypes with phones, PC's and we're not that far away from Laptops either. and the possibilities are amazing. My iSTEM teacher is already planning on trying to integrate something like this into his classes as soon as he can (which would take a while)
But this is the shit that makes me smile. It took me four months to build my laptop out of a preexisting laptop. This one can be built literally in minutes and is designed to be changeable on the fly. And while project Christine is designed for PC gaming, its applications far extend that.
AND APPARENTLY THERE HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH INTEREST IN THIS THING FOR RAZER TO TRY AND PRODUCE FULL MARKET!
AND THE PROBLEM ISN'T IN PEOPLE OUTRIGHT HATE IT! IT IS LITERALLY BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE THAN YOUR ORDINARY PC!
“The problem is the PC market, at this point of time, just doesn't reward innovation. It rewards commoditization. It rewards mediocre, shitty projects because it’s become this vicious cycle of sorts. Anyone who tries to innovate, like for Christine, everybody wants it, but they all want it to be immediately at commodity pricing.” Razer CEO Min-Liang
and here i had hopes for PC innovation...
