Clean Slate, a modular PC that looks amazing

Jeffrey Stephenson's latest deco desktop is the Clean Slate.

The design concept is to eliminate the usual case and instead give each component its own box, each air-cooled and installed on a beautiful maple plinth. It's a beefy system, too, with a recent video card, a socket 1151 Core CPU and 8GB of RAM.

The form factor was influenced by vintage exposed-tube amplifiers like the McIntosh 225. The graphics card I/O plate is custom made from aluminum and includes the system's power switch.

See it naked at Jeffrey's tearup report.

For me it evokes a miniature model of early computing if early computing had never been miniaturized. Imagine if we had ended up with neighborhood AI substations on every street corner and a terminal in every home before the 50s were finished with us...

Teardown is easy, too. Just remove the covers and get hacking:
