CLX shows a new Proof of Concept PC with a second PC inside

Custom PC builder CLX recently showed a proof of concept done in collaboration with Intel. The proof of concept features two PCs in a single build thanks to the Intel NUC 12 Extreme Compute Element (codenamed Eden Bay). This card uses a PCIe slot in a Horus CLX to add a PC to the existing PC. This is great news for streamers and content creators using a dual PC setup because they don’t need much room for their setup now. CLX points out that some of the uses include additional storage, a media server, and streaming.

Jorge Percival from CLX said:

When Intel first contacted us with this concept, we were immediately intrigued by the ability to successfully combine two PCs into a single build. Now that it’s been built, our team is excited about the impact it will have on efficiency, not just in gaming, but in so many other industries, including streaming and content creation. We are so happy to be working with Intel on this and can’t wait to see the reactions to the event.
