So I’ve been looking at upgrading my PC and it looks like I can get a better “micro” pc than my current (ancient) desktop for significantly less money than a full blown gaming rig. An example of such a rig is this.

I don’t have high gaming requirements - I play mostly old games, I think the newest games I play are from 5+ years ago.

What reasons are there for not buying one of these (over a comparable “proper” desktop)?

    Are there any advantages that are worth it for that budget range?

    The only one I know of so far was short DDR traces and a reduction to two slots for extreme memory overclocking.

      I think the packaging also leads to better audio quality due to inherently lower emi.
