XCSMatthew Ritter of Yanko design has designed what seems to be the no fuss, cool looking PC concept. Codenamed the XCS (Extensible Computer System) this is a simple unit where the circuitry has been hidden from the user's prying view, and all upgradable units are in the shape of external cartridges.


The idea behind this concept is that buyers are not intimidated by the complex views of the PC's internals. By this method, it makes it easier and less intimidating to upgrade their systems. If you view the thumbnailed image, you'll see each cartridge has a manufacturers name and logo embossed on it, which shows how individual parts such as the graphics card, RAM, and hard drive can be easily upgraded.


Baring in mind that this is a concept, it would be very cool to see this unusual beauty on the market in the future, and following technological trend, it would make sense to make systems that are easier to upgrade. Another argument for this movement is the way new technology is constantly being updated, and nowadays we get the impression that as soon as we purchase a unit, almost immediately it is out of date.
