Razer Announces Project Christine: A Modular Gaming PC Concept

Razer took the center stage at CES 2014 to announce Project Christine. The project which is still in the concept stage is the world’s most modular gaming rig. The project was conceived by Razer to help PC users who have limited knowledge about computer hardware upgrade their gaming PCs with ease. While upgrading PC hardware most users are concerned about compatibility and obsolescence issues. For example, when you decide to add a new graphics card in a PC, you first have to check whether it is compatible with your existing motherboard or not and soon you find that your motherboard has become obsolete since it cannot accept the graphics card which is required to run the latest generation games and this forces you to shell out even more cash for buying hardware. The modular gaming PC from Razer is going to solve all the above problems.


Project Christine allows you to upgrade CPU, GPU, memory and storage any time. The modules are sealed and have a cable less design. They feature active liquid cooling and noise cancellation and this allows Razer to factory overclock components. The rig is going to have a touchscreen display that shows the system statistics. Razer has been working on this idea since two years and it hopes to bring the modular PC into the market as soon as it manages to perfect the product based on inputs from the gaming community.

The idea of modular gadgets has managed to catch on with the industry. Motorola’s #-Link-Snipped-# is also working on a modular smartphone concept. We at CE appreciate the efforts made by companies to bring these innovations into the market since it will help us avoid the cost of buying a new upgraded gadget every year.
