It ’s an inauspicious fact that most high - end desktop PC are either flavourless to the percentage point of extreme sleepiness , or so gaudy and neon - alight that you have to throw a blanket over when you log Z’s ( or have guests over ) . Small , reasonable - front personal computer are most impossible to hail by , with the notable ( but non - Windows ) exception of the Mac Pro .
Phantom One is acrowdfunding projectfor a pocket-size form - agent , reasonably high - end desktop personal computer that looks like it was designed for grownups . harmonize to the Maker , it ’s also tiny — about the same size as a six - pack of beer , and crafted out of bamboo so that it wo n’t depend out of place on top of your desk .
The eyeglasses should be sufficient for almost everyone — a top - of - the - billet Core i7 mainframe , Nvidia GTX 970 graphics card , and 16 GB of RAM round out the execution specification , with a 128 GB SSD and 1 TB harddrive handling the storage . It ’s a jazz band that should make light employment of everything bar 4 K play for the next few year — and one that ’s upgradeable in the futurity if needs be . It runs $ 1,650 , which is about $ 200 more than the inwardness of the parts bought individually .
A desktop microcomputer also have for a Kickstarter that has a decent chance of success — all the internal components are off - the - shelf , and put together them should n’t exhibit much of a challenge to anyone who ’s subdue flat - pack furniture and the usance of a Philips - school principal . The only custom - ramp up component is the case . So , while the usual Kickstarter axiom applies — emptor be painfully aware — this is a decent - looking project that has a faint hope of really come through . [ Kickstarter ]
