CLX Shows Off New Proof of Concept PC Featuring a Second PC Inside

The custom PC building company CLX recently showed off a proof of concept made in partnership with Intel. The proof of concept features two PCs in a single build thanks to Intel’s NUC 12 Extreme Compute Element (code-named Eden Bay) compute card. This card uses a PCIe slot in a CLX Horus to add a PC to your existing PC. This is great news for streamers and content creators who use a dual PC setup because now they don’t need as much space for their setup. CLX highlights that some of the uses include additional storage, a media server, and streaming.

Jorge Percival of CLX said:

When Intel first approached us with this concept, we were immediately intrigued at the possibility of successfully combining two PCs in one build. Now that it’s been realized, our team is excited about the impact it will have on efficiency, not just in gaming, but across so many other industries, including streaming and content creation. We are so happy to work with Intel on this and can’t wait to see the reactions at the event.
