Computers are extremely modular already. Plus, you don't need to buy a proprietary interconnect and case that only one vendor provides.

- bicknergseng 13y agoModular, but not necessarily modular done right. I'd much rather plug and play than take the time to screw in each component and run wires around and slice my hands on heat sinks made out of razer blades. If that means we have to go with a proprietary mb... someones gotta take the first step. I don't see why this design paradigm couldn't use existing components, like the Level 10 should have been designed.
- dippyskoodlez 13y agoFor quick and dirty modifications they may not be 'done right', but from an engineering standpoint there are MANY limitations preventing exotic designs like this from even being viable, not to mention the cost of proprietary modules.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoComputers are increasingly unmodular and integrated; e.g. the proliferation and continued advancement of system-on-chip designs. Its only a matter of time until this starts hitting the high end, where we will see fewer and fewer parts that are not put together in a fab.
