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)?
You are FAR better off buying a used gaming rig than a mini PC…
Those boxes have heat issues, are not at all user-servicable, and really are only designed as a web browser box.
Great for media players / HTPCs, attrpcious for trying to game on.
Buy a 5 year old gaming system
