Some thoughts here:
1) holy heat sink Batman! That thing is huge!
2) I have a funny feeling the liquid metal cooling may lead to problems down the road. But I get those funny feelings with anything that is brand new with technology. Cool concept though.
3) good call to have the vents on the front and exhaust on the back. I always feel when the vents are on the side, it sometimes leads to overheating since people usually shove these in a too confined space in their TV stands.
4) I can imagine in 15-20 years or so when these flood the used market, I wonder how many are going to be missing that stand lol. I already sometimes have problems finding PS2s with the expansion bay cover still attached
5) Love how easy they make it to take the cover off. They definitely put thought into making it idiot proof.
6) The vacuumable dust catchers are a great touch. But I can see that being an overlooked by the average person. Hopefully they don't fill up and cause overheating problems and people posting here asking why it's overheating; "Well did you vacuum out the dust catchers?"
7) There appear to be 3 memory expansion slots. I'm assuming you can just fill that up with multiple terabytes of storage?
It looks well designed and definitely a lot of thought went into it. I also like the simplicity of their design. It looks like it's going to be a breeze to take apart and fix, which is good for someone like me who enjoys tearing these things down and making them work again My only worry is the longevity of that liquid metal cooling. It's so new that I can't help but wonder, in a decade, will this leak? Will it break down and cause overheating? I'd hate to see something so simple brick a console, such as the clock capacitor on the original Xbox corroding and eating through the board. I guess time will tell
