MSI Shows Gaming 17XT AIO with external GPU

Though history has proven that external GPU solutions are just NOT an attractive buy that didn't stop MSI from developing one. The new All in one PC dubbed Gaming 27XT has extra storage space at the backside, on which you can clamp an external GPU.

MSI didn't give any further details on the product, so there is no info available on proc, memory and what kind of graphics card that unit actually holds.

Neither price or availability date has been announced, so this all stays a bit vague. The product would have to meet the competition, Origins AIO Omni with Core i7 5960X and Titan-X processor with 32GB memory (albeit for an MSI AIO that's a little far fetched we agree.

MSI is also 'announced' the Vortex Gaming Tower, a small PC with two GeForce GTX 980 graphics cards and an unknown Core i7 proc. Here again no details have been shared otherwise. The unit entails a 'Silent Strom' Vortex cooler for which the airflow is sucked in at the bottom and exhausted at the top. Again no price or availability date has been announced.
