ODI Modular Computers - an evolution in personal computing and home entertainment
--

We are currently designing and building a next-generation Modular Computer platform that will allow end-users to easily construct and upgrade computing and home entertainment devices using stackable modules.

The Modular Computer platform is a suite of individual, self contained modules (building blocks) that stack together to form computing and home entertainment devices.  By separating out the main parts of a computer into modules, we are bringing an element of upgradeability back into the industry and making it such that even novice end-users are able to benefit.  Messy cabling is also removed as the Modules stack together and communicate using built-in connectors.

A further advantage of our product is that the environment benefits from reduced electronic waste - when a module becomes obsolete, only it is replaced and all other modules remain.  Nowadays, when a PC is upgraded, generally the whole machine is replaced due to the large number of integrated components.  

Our design philosophy is simple - we believe that technology should be simple, sustainable, attractive and it should offer a choice.  We are holistically designing the product suite in that each module will work with and complement the other modules in a Stack, and we are planning on supporting both commercial and open-source users.  The scope of the Modular Computer platform stretchs from your pocket, to your office and into your living room.
