Razer's new project

[barnsley]

Well well well I didn't expect this. This takes pc upgrading to a whole new level of easiness. Say what you want about razer, but you have to admit, this IS impressive.

At time of writing there are no prices announced or any specifications really. One thing of note is that the watercooling and psu are combined. meaning that the watercooling is effectively plug and play. Now that is a technology I would love for my case .


What do you think? I personally think that it looks like a Thermaltacky level 10 crosbred with an xbone (aka hell) but I think the technology is striking. It reminds me alot of Deus ex. Will I buy it? no. Will it change pcs as we know it? who can say. One thing is for certain though, its a striking design

DiceHunter is gonna go nuts lol... Nice to see something else btw. Wait and see how this turns out.

Gotta admit; The watercooling system is impressive. That's about all that I'm impressed about at this point in time though. Bet the price is going to be impressive as well...

 

[Edge]

Knowing Razer.. it's going to be veeeery expensive. Interesting way to pull in those "would be" PC builders who are just afraid of screwing something up.

 

[Greenback]

The ideas impressive, but you would want another case big enough for that to sit in so it will look nice

 

[CreatiXx]

sure,take that to a lan and next day everything will be stolen xd besides that,looks pretty awesome

Looks very impressive indeed. Not something I would buy, but I can definitely see the appeal.

I can definitely see the appeal of something like this, especially to people who are afraid to open their case. Would have to see where Razer go with this one (and how much it would cost).

A real plug&play PC build. Wonder how are they cooling the mineral oil inside, I don't see any well radiator type grills or anything.
Can it be passively cooled by whole the surface of the case and modules themselves?

mineral oil rigs are passively cooled

Hm, Linus just uploaded a video on this thing. Looks very interesting, obviously doesn't do anything yet though, it's just a concept..

Yes components are passively cooled but you still need some way to cool the oil. There needs to be some way to exchange heat between the case and surrounding air.

you tube it you will see what i mean

Mineral Oil takes a ton of kinetic energy and a long ass time to absorb the kinetic energy(aka heat).

You probably mean thermal and not kinetic energy. But still oil will heat over time so, in a more powerful(gaming) rig, many people use some kind of external unit to cool it down like a normal radiator you would use in a custom liquid cooled pc.

I thought I would too but to be honest it doesn't do anything for me, It just looks like a TT Level 10 GT case which I think is ugly as hell plus I like to see the inside of my case that's why I bought the Corsair 540.
Razer should stick to doing mice, Keyboards, Mats and headsets, This I can see going wrong quickly.

 

[barnsley]

Everyone should remember this is just a concept as of now. razer haven't said they want to build it yet ^_^

 

[Snortan]

Love the idea, hate how it looks. It reminds me of phonebloks, which would've been pretty neat as well.

that was my worry, the oil will be a great cooler but what happens once the oil heats up? where does the heat go?

fried chips anyone?

 

[Dicehunter]

Doesn't look safe to me, The way the pieces click in looked kind of flimsy plus mineral oil would be a bitch to clean up if you wanted to swap out the parts inside the casing.
