(Photo: EVGA)<\/small><\/center>PC component and accessories maker EVGA has pulled the wraps off its all-new E1 open air PC \u201cconcept\u201d design, and the \u201csports car adjacent\u201d gaming rig is every bit as enticing as a Formula 1 prototype. Though EVGA isn\u2019t known for producing entire PCs, much less exotic ATX chassis, the E1 is like nothing we\u2019ve ever seen. We say that not because of its open air design, which is nothing new, but because of its extensive use of carbon fiber as well as the fact that instead of mounting the motherboard to the case like most cases, the E1 uses steel cables to suspend the motherboard in the center of the contraption. Some might call it a PC, others might call it a work of art. All we know is EVGA isn\u2019t mentioning price just yet, which tells us it\u2019s one of those, \u201cif you have to ask,\u201d scenarios. It\u2019s also only available in limited quantities, and to EVGA members only.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the E1 is loaded<\/a> with EVGA\u2019s most high-end components, including several from its Kingpin line. Kingpin is EVGA\u2019s brand for flagship products designed for extreme overclocking. But starting with the chassis, it\u2019s a 100 percent 3k plain weave carbon fiber, which means there are 3,000 filaments of carbon fiber per \u201ctow,\u201d which is the name for the fiber with all the strands twisted together. This allows the frame to be both extremely light, coming in at just 2.76lbs, while also being very strong. EVGA claims it\u2019s the lightest chassis in its class, by volume. The motherboard is hung from the chassis using steel cables, which is a design the company calls \u201cindependent suspension,\u201d which it says is patent pending.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the system is the company\u2019s soon-to-be-released Z690 Dark Kingpin<\/a> motherboard, which is its flagship board for Intel\u2019s latest Alder Lake CPUs. It\u2019s designed for overclocking, and includes a 21-phase VRM as well as a 10-layer PCB, as well as every bell and whistle you\u2019d expect on such a board, including dual 2.5Gb\/s Intel NICs. EVGA isn\u2019t saying which CPU it is using, but it\u2019s a safe bet it will be an overclocked Core i9-12900K.<\/p>\n
