CableMod going out of business soon.

Is it just me, or this looks kinda good? Especially if it will be cool.

If I really wanted to hide all of that, I would just get a case that doesn't have a clear side panel...

The point is to be able to show a beautiful, cable-less front PC and improve airflow. Hiding all your messy cabling behind an opaque case misses all that.

I reckon I could 3d print something similar would be an interesting project.

the ATX12VO spec is never coming to consumer motherboards.

I just this becomes a standardized and not every company doing their own layout because in this case ... You will be ventor locked .

Simular to Gigabtyes Project Stealth, which if i remember is protected by a patent from Maingear the SI.
So i hope MSI asks Maingear for Permisison!

Looks like the motherboard would need inch high standoffs to go into a current case. This would mean GPU mounting wouldn't line up with the case and nor would the backplate. Surely this needs a new case. I don't have an 8 pin CPU cable worth of space under my motherboard for sure.

Enjoy being vendor locked.

I think It's actually a pretty clever design after watching a video on it even the GPU PCIE connectors are on the bottom of the card so there's literally no cables on show, I hope more manufacturers do this now.
