It sure is stylish, overpriced but cool!  I could think of better ways to spend the money though.  Still, its unique . . . :-)


It sure is unique, a true custom design that's actually quite innovative with its cooling solution and all that über performance fitted inside that rather small footprint and compact "box". Of course it has the "Apple brand tax" applied to it, but you actually get a lot for that money as well. IMHO, it stands out as a PC from all the rest, in any comparison.

Price wise, this is what the A-eon X1000 competes against. Which is mind boggling if you think about it! Because that's also where all similarities ends!

That picture illustrates my point about lack of internal expansion perfectly! Thanks for sharing :)


I'd make an "educated" guess (based on my own reflections from seeing my own computers throughout time as well as the workstations I work with, has worked with in the past, and those my colleges and friends work with in their respective companies and at home), that 90-99% of the internal slots and connectors in the general PC is completely unused. Even the need for internal hard drives has diminished, in favor of NAS devices, even in peoples homes. You have a very fast, 256GB SSD with operating system and all you applications, and the data on a NAS. A raided/mirrored 3TB NAS where everyone in the family (according to their respective account privileges) can reach everything (from desktops, laptops, smart TV's, smart phones, tablets and whatever), where all photos, videos and movies, music, and other bulk storage resides, is so much better.
