Acer has unveiled a desktop PC whose parts are designed to be fitted together like building blocks.
The idea behind the Revo Build is to make it easy to customise a computer without having to unscrew parts of its body to install new components or connect it to other kit via cables.
A series of pins at the top and bottom of each part allows them to be stacked and connected together.
The concept echoes an approach others are taking to mobiles. Mr Green noted, however, that the introductory base units had relatively limited processing power - they initial choice will be between Intel's Celeron and Pentium processors rather than its Core family of chips - which might limit their appeal to gaming enthusiasts.

I think many manufactures will be now be looking at this concept. It is not entirely new, but seems to be getting a forward march.
Whilst I'm still firmly set into a lappy for everyday work there is market for this sort of desktop replacement. Like the idea of disconnecting 'bits' to use elsewhere but there is still a lot of work to do on that aspect.
I'm pretty sure the cpu / processor and ram issue will be resolved, so will the elevated price to boot.
I love the future, it's only hours away

All with proprietary connectors, I don't doubt. Gaming consoles used to take a similar approach, and from what I know/have read, sales were generally not great. Sega CD
