Origin PC wants to wow attendees at the 2016 International CES with new gamer PCs. The Miami maker of gaming computers is announcing the Origin Chronos small form-factor chassis and a new Origin Omni all-in-one gaming desktop. Origin PC is also unveiling an app that lets you control your PC from a smartphone.
The Origin Sentinel app lets you monitor your gamer PC from your smartphone.
The custom PC company is starting the new year with Chronos, a small machine that measures 11.75 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 13.75 inches in depth. While small, the computer sports an Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Z graphics core, an Intel Core i7 5960X processor, the Origin Frostbyte 120 sealed liquid-cooling system, and up to four 2.5-inch solid state drives and one 3.5-inch storage drive. The Chronos can be placed vertically, horizontally, or even upside down thanks to its detachable magnetic feet and rotating logo.
