The Nexar XPA (starts at $1100), or Cross Processor Architecture, is a family of mini-tower PCs that feature an easily removable and upgradable motherboard for simplified processor changeovers. The mini-tower chassis is designed for easy access, with a motherboard that slides out. The Nexar motherboard is modular, with the processor, chip set, and memory sockets on one half and I/O controller internals and expansion slots, which are not
as susceptible to obsolescence as processors, on the other half. To upgrade, simply slide out the old motherboard and snap a new one in. Nexar has Pentium, Pentium Pro, dual Pentium Pro, and Pentium II boards available.
