Can a PC Be Upgraded Forever?

This little aluminum computer has one big goal: To be the last PC you will ever need. That's what the manufacturer claims—"The Xi3 Modular's three boards will allow you to upgrade it forever." Maybe. I just like the color.

The tiny Xi3 Modular has one board with two AMD Athlon 64 processors and the RAM, while two I/O boards handle all connectivity and input/output requirements. They say that, by changing these boards you can "upgrade this computer forever" to save money and resources.

Still, it's a nice little computer which is designed to be mounted anywhere. It comes with dual display support with 1080p DVI, VGA, HDMI, LVDS and DP output, plus 6 USB and 2 SATA Ports, Xi3p and PCIe, and it's available in limited quantities for $849.

I dont understand... it can be upgraded forever? what does that mean? When you upgrade the whole computer you buy a new one... or should I say all the components lol

I'd love one of those but it would probably cost more than my entire computer. XD

No way a PC can be upgraded forever. A simple difference in motherboard size would wreck that concept.

going to be rough to do that i think.

That's awesome. It looks so sleek and tiny. I don't know about cooling though, it seems like heat would be a problem.

interesting concept

SoreLosersGaming said...

I like the idea, just not sure how it'd work...

Have to agree with JRam - while it IS a good concept, eventually even this PC will be extinct because of the advent of new technology.
