      I have a mini-PC from Minisforum (not this one) dedicated as a media computer in my living room. It can fit nicely inside the TV bench, which a regular sized computer wouldn't do. I like that I can play games like Horizon: Zero Dawn on it without any issue. I love it, and I gave about 800 USD for it.

      I am planning getting a high-end rig for my office later (next year maybe?), and then I of course will not consider a mini-PC.

        I found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.

      That's probably true. However, I'm sure there are people out there who have very limited space and do not need that extra power for the games ey play.

      Given the world these last few years, there have been many people who have been forced to downsize and get or become room mates or live in an RV. This doesn't necessarily mean a person can't enjoy a little downtime. The primary point is that every inch counts. Or so, she says.

          Please re-read my post. I said multiple times that a small form factor is crucial in some situations.

          ATX = full desktop form factor Mini-ITX = smaller OP video = compact

          It's not always about money. It's not always about raw power either.
