MSI’s Project Zero X, showcased at CES 2025, is a prototype desktop build that aims for a clean and tidy interior design. With clever geometry and an unconventional motherboard layout, it hides all the wires within a glass chamber, resembling a Victorian terrarium. It’s a sight to behold for enthusiasts of neat PC setups.
However, as someone who struggles with cable management, the thought of owning such a case is daunting. I have a knack for ruining meticulously organized setups with messy cables. My cable management skills are subpar, to say the least. Despite MSI’s efforts to conceal cables, I know I’ll find a way to mess it up if I ever get my hands on Project Zero X.
I must admit, I am terrible at keeping cables neat. I can’t straighten them out or make them bend where I want. My attempts at cable management usually end up with cables shoved under the PSU shroud like a tangled mess of lights. Building a PC with Project Zero X would likely result in a chaotic mess, defeating the purpose of its design. It’s a skill I lack, and I’ve come to terms with it.
For those who excel at cable management, Project Zero X could be a statement piece in their setup. However, personal preferences for PC chassis designs vary among the RPS team. Some prefer minimalistic designs, while others have unique preferences like wooden cases. It’s clear that not everyone would appreciate the design of Project Zero X.
