hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX one of the coolest pcs that we saw at CES came from msi the vortex is an engineering reminder that powerful pcs don't have to be massive and it looks like plenty of interior design choices have been borrowed from the mac pro but externally make look like in gaming station no doubt there will be those who dislike the gamer esque look of the RGB strips on the front of the enclosure with this wraparound converging piece through the body with complementing shape of the panels at the top - and the illuminated logo at the back but the idea of the vortex is to be memorable and I think MSI has achieved that perfectly there is no built-in handle that would make it a bit more move friendly but that's totally fine and check out that size it's really small for what it offers and the most impressive thing about this structure is the lack of an external power brick the power supply is actually built-in at the bottom so all you have to do is plug it in hardware wise it will feature a desktop sky like CPU that you can swap up to four slots of MDOT - SSDs dual GTX 980 graphics cards which are the smaller than the more efficient models of the desktop GPUs up to 64 gigabytes of rams thanks to sky league which you can access as well and pretty much everything in this machine is swap Bowl so you will be able to replace the CPU the end the two drives and in the RAM I'm not so sure about the graphics cards just yet the airflow is going to be great and I think it's in the name with the large fan at the top of the enclosure pulling air through the case as large ventilation is available at the bottom and then we seriously cannot wait to test out the temperatures and the acoustics in this thing as for the i/o we have triple audio ports four USB 3.0 dual HDMI dual gear but Ethernet dual USB type-c and do a mini DisplayPort so you can hook up your g-sync panels if you want and take advantage of those NVIDIA GPUs so the vortex is such an awesome machine that hopefully ignites this trend within the PC modularity that will also allow things like this to be created by the user
