Even though my gaming laptop is great for almost any game it does at times overheat and tries to shut down even with a fan underneath.... Since I don't like the clunky nature of desktops anymore I was wondering about those mini machines which is basically a desktop in a small form factor....Are those any good??...
Truth be told the size of the actual case rarely matters. Most of the space is taken up by monitors, speakers, keyboards, mice and wires. The box usually just sits somewhere under your table...
Now if you've got like the perfect hole around your desk for a small sized desktop I suppose you could try, but if you don't you might as well go full ATX size imo. The bigger the box the more room for air to move around.
Obviously there are ways to save space still... A mounted monitor, a small ten-key-less keyboard, (though I can't comprehend how someone can live without a numpad...)a case that blends well with the rest of the room and some dank cable management can go a long way.
If it's really a clunkiness issue as opposed to a space issue you could try buying or making your own PC table with the hardware literally built into it like so:
Or just a regular PC table:
Oh yeah... so anyone know wtf this USB port is on the back? USB DAC-UP
It's blocked by a metal pin so I can't use it... doesn't look like that on the box of my mobo
It's not really a major issue, but I do have a lot of USB devices to plug in so Im forced the use a hub at the moment.
DAC -> Digital Analog Converter? Audio equipment or something? Still... why is blocked off :S? idiot-proofing? Or did I actually managed to **** up and get install it badly...
