One of the most exciting innovations from MSI at CES 2025 is the conceptual desktop computer, Project Zero X. This PC stands out with its completely cable-free design and unconventional placement of I/O ports, enabling a panoramic case.
Project Zero X: A Refinement of a Concept
MSI Project Zero X is an updated version of the 2023 concept, MSI Project Zero. The company aims to maximize the aesthetic appeal of desktop computers. The new model features a transparent case on all four sides, including the top.
Unique Motherboard and Cable Management
MSI is using a custom motherboard with an unconventional design for component connection. Based on available images, only two visible cables are connected to the graphics card and liquid cooling system, with the rest completely hidden from view.
Rear-Mounted Ports
All I/O ports are located on the back of the motherboard, and the graphics card ports are directed toward the bottom of the case. Instead, MSI has included three DisplayPort and two HDMI ports on the rear panel, along with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports.
Availability
There is currently no information about the price and release date for MSI Project Zero X, nor are there any details regarding components used in this concept PC.
