He hasn't taken the mini pc pill yet

Let me guess, you ''need'' more?

Small = heat = noisy

I learned that lesson years ago and I will never buy a small/low-formfactor pc ever again. Buying "the biggest atx case" and loading it up with great big heatsink and fans set at a low RPM keeps it nice and cool.

and, most importantly, quiet!

My PC purchases aren't placated based on "needs"

mini pcs only make sense as budget options. Once you go into the $500+ range you start going "I can get 3x the performance here by just buying normal parts"

>Let me guess, you ''need'' more?
Yes because I do actual work on my PC, not just consoom Fortnite and Pornhub.

your small pc case can only fit 2
this

What's the point?

I guess it makes sense if you want a passively cooled PC, but you might as well use a reflashed chromebook if you NEED this level of power draw.

>needing a mini pc when he can have a smart monitor
Yeah I need less, consumeristcuck

the n6000 version of that thing supposedly gets really heckin' hot, but the slower ones are better

looked into it a few days ago, none of the sane budget ones have 4 display outputs, so a 12100 it is

it's even worse than it seems at first glance because smaller fans have far shorter lifespans than larger ones. 120mm fans last an eternity, especially at low RPMs, I don't think I've ever seen a tiny fan that hasn't eaten its bearings within a few years.

Will it run my video games at 360 fps while also being dead silent?

I like mini pcs.

but beyond this... I like the idea of fanless, ultra-low power pcs

if all you do on your computer is use the internet, office tier work, and small peripheral stuff like the occasional photo editing or audio recording, then I'm looking forward to the next gen low tier arm shit coming out

ideally, I hope for a usb-c flash-drive sized computer that is powerful enough to handle this workload with no hiccups

Literally just a modern day TV

How loud do these mini PC fans get exactly?

-my gpu is bigger and probably heavier than that mini-pc "rtx 3090"

- my room is massive

-i want maximum airflow

-i use the biggest case possible.

Yeah I need more because my parts with their bigass coolers won't fit in there

I'm not poor so I can buy what I want not just what I need.

Gamers are subhuman

I'm just going to buy the biggest iMac when it comes out, fuck it
