In its performance class, ERA is the flattest system on the market. Despite its size, there&#8217;s still plenty of storage space for full-quality Blu-ray movies and powerful graphics cards, enabling native 4K\/UltraHD gaming. In order to create such a flat design, ERA&#8217;s graphics card needed to lay horizontally in the chassis, compared to a vertical orientation in most regular computers. Horizontal mounting requires a PCI-Express riser and extender card, pictured above. This enables the use of motherboards that comply with ATX standards, allowing for full system upgradability further down the road.<\/p>\n<p>ERA is available for pre-order now, and will start shipping at the end of May 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Check out all of the ERA features <a title=\"here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/era\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-systems"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1583,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions\/1583"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.steigerdynamics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
