MSI’s new ‘invisible cable’ desktop PC goes too far

">Power Mac G4 Cube desktop from way back in 2000. And that thing was infamous for several reasons, not least of which was that you had to connect all the cables to the bottom of the machine.
MSI project zero X CES 2025 2

MSI

I have a few other notes. If you use a blower-style GPU with the Project Zero X, it’s not going to be a great setup for the graphics card, shooting hot air down to that bottom chamber only to let the heat rise across all those components. (But I suppose it at least doesn’t require a specific compatible card, like some Asus designs.) It’s also a massive case, dedicating what looks like more than half its total volume to extra space for the hidden power supply and space for cables, internal and external.

But to be fair to MSI, this doesn’t look like it’s ready for a retail release yet. The CES demonstration doesn’t even list out the parts hiding under all those shrouds. So chalk this up as an experimental showpiece.

We’ll probably see some more refinement on the idea (maybe at Computex later in the year?) before we see it in any form that’s ready for buyers. In the meantime, you can try something a little less extreme with MSI’s current Project Zero parts and cases.
