In terms of cooling, PC with “guts in the air” is not very effective. Powerful PCs need a closed case to be able to direct airflow directly from the outside to problem areas (processor, GPU and memory), and from there out.

AT one pc no box the air is dissipated rather than flowing, so cooling is not as efficient. But it may be enough if the hardware is not too powerful, or high-quality radiators and fans are installed, liquid cooling …

These PC without case They are often used in work environments where testing different components. You can easily remove and insert graphics card, memory, SSDs, etc. without having to constantly loosen screws to open the case.

Nagao Industry Inc. is a Japanese company that has been producing PC components since 1971.

It has a section on chassis for PC installation without box. These metal chassis hold the various components of the PC because, logically, it cannot float in the air.

It recently introduced an add-on for its boxless chassis called N-FRAME-OP01, allowing integrate the monitor into the chassis itself. You can see it in the center, on the right:

as we see this part screws behind the base plateAnd allows integrate the screen inside the PC itself. The chassis has a handle so it can be completely transported. Although a PC without a box is not exactly suitable for carrying it from one place to another…

The photos also show us how the power supply is protected and isolated in the bottom bay to avoid static electricity issues.

This is a very interesting configuration that may be of interest to certain types of users… who don’t have children or pets nearby. They do not list prices, but you can find more information on their website.
