I've been searching for it all over the internet, and just can't find any information about it. I remember there being news stories about it, and how it's going to change everything, and now I can't find a single mention of it on the internet. What gives? Does anyone have any info about it?

What decade would this have been from?

"dark blue color"
"Tesseract was a perfect cube, all sides even. It had different components on different sides, exposed circuitry."
"It had circuits and other parts like a graphics card does, or a motherboard. The circuit board was a dark blue"

Was it some kind of PC, like the open frame PC cases that started in the... 2000s I want to say?

When CPU/RAM/GPU overclocking was a thing?

Completely different kind of computing architecture, i.e. not x86?

Maybe Steve Jobs' NeXT?

    The pictures could've been just some prop or something. I don't know. Both articles I remember used the same pictures. I remember several photos from various angles. It was a new thing less than a decade ago. So 2010s would be the decade. It was definitely new kind of physical structure, but I'm not sure about actual computing architecture as in software side.
