GIGABYTE's Project Stealth Computer Assembly Kit Leads to Sleek System Builds
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, announced today a new technology partnership with MAINGEAR, developing the newly developed Project Stealth computer assembly kit and MAINGEAR Stealth custom gaming PC's. Through the perfect combination of standard ATX compatible components with non-proprietary connectors consisting of a custom motherboard, graphics card and case, Project Stealth eliminates the headaches of cable clutter, installation challenges, and obstructed airflow. The innovative design makes assembling a clean and sleek PC build easier than ever before
When it comes to PC builds, beginners or experienced users alike might find it a difficult process. Since most cables are designed to connect to the front side of motherboards, cable chaos inside the case becomes a major concern in a system build. Others may also struggle with inserting USB, audio, PSU connectors, and front panel headers on the motherboards due to limited interior space in the chassis. In response to these challenges, GIGABYTE developed Project Stealth, utilizing MAINGEAR's revolutionary patent and design that shifts all connectors to back of the motherboard. Through this innovation, Project Stealth provides an exceptional solution composed of the Z690 AORUS ELITE STEALTH motherboard, RTX 3070 GAMING OC STEALTH graphics card, and AORUS C300G STEALTH case.
Z690 AORUS ELITE STEALTH moves all sockets like ATX power, CPU power, fans, USB, audio, front panel, etc. to the back of the motherboard, designed to simplify cable management and installation. RTX 3070 GAMING OC STEALTH combines an underside PCIE power socket design with the best-of-class gaming performance. With this exclusive motherboard and graphics card design, users can line their cables up to achieve a stylish, and sleek build with a clean look that compliments both tower coolers and AIO liquid coolers. To tie it all together, the AORUS C300G STEALTH case features custom cutouts, providing seamless integration with both the motherboard and graphics card, enabling easy cable routing for clean aesthetics and ease of assembly.
For those looking for a full solution featuring this innovation, MAINGEAR is announcing the Stealth Gaming PC, a fully integrated solution featuring all Project Stealth components. The Stealth Gaming PC will feature the same industry leading build quality and support of MAINGEAR's award-winning custom gaming desktop PCs and workstations.
MAINGEAR's Stealth Gaming Desktop will be available in custom configurations, giving customers the freedom to select from the latest high speed DDR5 memory and high speed PCI-E Gen 4 NVMe storage solutions. Each desktop will be hand assembled by MAINGEAR's team of passionate enthusiast builders in New Jersey.
GIGABYTE Project Stealth computer assembly kit will be soon available on the market. Please contact local GIGABYTE retailers to experience all the advantages of Project Stealth.

The idea isn't bad, but it seems like Gigabyte doesn't have a plan to offer a motherboard upgrade path, as they can't guarantee that the connectors will be in the same place and if you go to their project stealth site or watch the video, you'll see that they've made very small cutouts in the case for the ports, so it's a pretty tight fit.
I would say it's a good idea, poorly executed.
Edit: Also that hot box seems to be a wrong choice to start with.
Also, FTFY. :laugh:

Maybe a step in between where you get a connection and a pcb that can be mounted in 2.5inch slots, moving the connections away?
Not sure but this is a good future design, gj.
I see a market for it honestly, but predicting sales is really difficult.
we used to hide all the components from view - all cables - as they were viewed ugly.
then glass panel cases came along and we decided to delight in the complexity of the system and put it on display.
now, we are hiding the components again by putting the complexity around the back of the motherboard.
we are getting a point where we will lots of things in front of the PC like RGB and LCD screens on motherboards, which are purely decorative, and all the real hardware is going to be hidden again.
But you are correct, this has to be more then just Gigabyte doing this for it to take off. If other companies don't jump on board and this doesn't become standardized, this is just a really really limited design that can't be used with much else.
