That alienware mini PC they built is pretty slick. You can even swap out the GPU, maybe the CPU too. On a side note, I was thinking of making a small PC as well, but I decided to build a decent beast of a machine to replace my consoles for the next 3 years.


Those Dell machines are overpriced for anyone that can build their own systems. I've built quite a few powerful PCs but honestly, doing research I was shocked to find out how these AMD APU's perform when paired with a 6670 Radeon in crossfire.

Take a look at this vid showing some of the numbers for current games.

Not to shabby for a GPU + CPU that cost 200 bucks combined or less. Also this is last years A8 3850... This years A10 5800K should be 30% better according to early benchmarks.
