Meet Project Stealth, a brand-new effort by PC powerhouses to conceal all noticeable cable televisions

Any PC contractor understands that internal electrical wiring can be a trouble. In between power supply rails, SATA cable televisions, cooling fans, and any variety of other parts, you may invest simply as much time arranging your cable televisions and wires as you do in fact putting together all your parts. Gigabyte has an option to that in its Aorus Project Stealth PC: a system that puts each and every wire in the develop on the rear end of the case. This makes the primary location enhanced for air flow– not to discuss glamorous and absolutely tidy Gigabyte partnered with store system home builder Maingear to make this extreme reimagining of the ATX requirement a truth.

Gordon Ung got his fortunate hands on this style over on the PCWorld YouTube channel. In the video you can see Gigabyte’s precise style work: every motherboard connection, plus power rails for the GPU and case fans, has actually been thoroughly routed to the back of the motherboard and out of sight. Even the CMOS battery is installed in the back.

And that’s a cool technique, however the actually outstanding bit is that there’s no exclusive innovation at play here. The case installing board has additional space in the cutouts, however it still installs a basic ATX motherboard. The connections on the Project Stealth motherboard itself are simply thoroughly put so that the power and information connections are soldered through to the rear rather of the front. Somebody with a soldering board and a constant hand might do basically the very same thing.

With every little connection on the back and thoroughly identified, electrical wiring is a breeze, and the outcomes promote themselves. Could we see this type of ultra-clean style on customer motherboards and cases in the future? We can however hope. Wallace Santos, CEO of Maingear, and Kevin Shieh, Product Marketing Manager at Gigabyte, just recently joined our Full Nerd podcast to talk about how Project Stealth happened, and their aspirations for the effort– consisting of a desire to see other PC hardware makers like Asus and MSI support the brand-new style. You can see that interview in its totality listed below:
