Why are poor/trashy people obsessed with All-in-One PCs? I sell PCs for a living and the only people who seem to be interested in our AIOs are either White trash, dirt-poor Mexicans or some combination of the two.

The thing is, they're not that cheap either. What's the obsession?

>>59713186
With the lack of support for SLI and CrossFire in vidya lately, gamers don't even need huge desktops. Most would be fine with a MicroATX or even a MiniITX build with a single card, with a few 3.5" drive bays. And if you want, most of that can be replaced with a NAS, and all you really need would be a spacious SSD and a 1-2TB HDD for games.

I don't want my computer to sound like a jet engine. I'd rather have a couple 360mm rads with fans at -200 rpm in a case with sound dampening thanks

Fuck anything that isn't mid tower or up

>>59713334

Smaller cases = fewer fans = worse thermal performance provided the other hardware is the same. There is simply less space for heat to go and fewer fans to dissipate it
>>
Unless your a gayman, an AIO PC is great. I have an iMac 5k, i7, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Does everything I need and the display is amazing.

it's not a lie anon, 165-215w on all ryzen 7 for 4.0 8c there is a big hump in the voltage scaling at 3.8 and they require 1.4v or greater to reach those speeds, that last 200mhz is a bitch

I don't need to. Every review ever has demonstrated that board partners' nonblower coolers are quieter and allow the gpu to hold a higher clock, meaning they work better, provided you are someone who cares about performance and not building minuscule computers because it's hip. idk why you'd want a small mobo with less space on it for things you may want and a small case with the same issues. The challenge maybe?

It's also much more quiet while performing better without overclock. So explain to me why I should get a shit reference design if I don't intend to put it under water and I put performance first?

No one has given me any reasons why a small form factor computer is better than a larger one aside from size. They are worse unless you put some considerable effort into a custom loop. One day when I do a loop it'll be in a nice easy big case

My brother-in-law is neither poor nor trashy. He's a 47 year old doctor of pharmacology who is the COO of a mid-size medical supply business. He pulls in $450k annually. He knows absolutely nothing about computers. He knows how to turn one on, he knows how to use Internet Explorer (thinks it is a great browser), and he knows how to email. That is about it. He thinks buying a computer is like buying a refrigerator. You go to the store, pick one out, take it home, plug it in, and it just works. Upon doing comparison shopping, he made his final decision based on the small compact size and few wires, like you would with a toaster. Tech astute, he is not. He still owns a Blackberry and thinks Blackberry phones are the greatest of all time.

fuck AIOs, all they have are problems regardless of brand and fuck the shills who convince management they're a good idea.

shit breaks, it happens. Just when shit breaks on these it's almost always a pain. A dell optiplex psu swapout takes seconds, these not so much.
Even macs are not free from this issue, past the typical pc component failures, shit like backlights getting burnt out happen all the time for us. You can tell where the problem remains, it's sticking all of those components in one small space with limited cooling

Same things you'd use a RAMdisk for in any other computer. I've used one quite a few times on my iMac, have to keep it tiny though as mine only has 6GiB RAM.

>>59721310
Alright then my original point saying the AIO doesn't suffice when you need more ram is not based on anything technology wise, it's basic logic, if I need more ram than what an AIO can offer I'll build a desktop.

Saying that the average user doesn't need more than what those abominations can pack in is also wrong. While helping my parents just a few months ago with their home PC their average memory use was hovering around 4-4.5GiB because of the extra shit they installed, that's just at desktop with no web browser open. When they opened up a web browser, (90% of their use) the useage would spike to about 6.5GiB because of addons and the usual 10-20 tabs they had open. They're not super with computers but I would lump them in with the average user base. So to say that an AIO can supply the average user with enough memory to fulfill average tasks is fucking stupid.

Further more when using my desktop under load I use around 6GiB or memory, that's with my IDE open, a few Chrome windows, music, maybe a video, the whole works.
>>
>>59721503
So let me get this straight, your initial claim was that nobody needs that much RAM in an AIO, then you back that claim by saying that AIOs can't provide enough RAM for the average user?
>>
>>59721582
Okay anon, I'm just going to leave you to read carefully, remember line by line, take notes if you have to, I need to get ready for class and I'll come back if you're still struggling. Hang in there champ.

Nah, I'm done with your bullshit. I'm going to go back to enjoying my AIO.
>>
>>59714162
i'm not that stupid you were talking to and for sure i don't know your computing needs but you're a medical student, whatever you need to do can be done with a laptop, desktop computers nowadays are only for gayming and serious work.

or
>build a desktop

The typical person doesn't consider this. Once you realize that, you'll stop wondering why anyone wants AIOs, or phones with restricted options costing several times as much as your chinkpad or chinkphone that requires some added knowledge to work well.
