What To Do With The Guts Of A PC
There's a lesser-known drawback in trying to build your own PC, or upgrading an existing desktop model. I hope you all know that touching anything inside without grounding yourself via a wrist strap is a no-no. We all know (or at least I do now) that attempting a major repair after a good night out isn't the best idea when large amounts of voltage are involved. By and large, the problem is all the mess. If you own a desktop PC the chances are you have had to annex some room in your home or at least lay belligerent claim to an area with a desk and some storage.
Every upgrade to keep your system current inevitably spawns extra boards, wires, drives and gubbins that you either have to sell to someone with an older system or stash in the home somewhere. Satellite "Frankenstein" PCs start to pop up, built of the perfectly useable older parts, until dissected to provide a vital organ to test on a newer, malfunctioning model.
Spending every waking moment online gaming is one thing, but leave the house a mess and your partner is going to go into meltdown long before your CPU does. Which is why any way of reducing the sheer clutter of a PC-dominated area comes as a godsend. The next generation of integrated, all-in-one PCs take up little space, they are simply a keyboard and a shiny flat screen that you can even wall mount like an LCD or LED TV if you like. Plus it has a sleek stylishness about it that can really improve a space, rather than filling it with a big box with lots of wires spilling out of the back.
Yes, it's true your upgrade options are limited. But unless you upgrade on a very regular cycle you will have to buy a virtually complete new PC each time, technology marches on so quickly many new components won't work at all or as well with older ones. Back to square one with a drawer full of replaced PC parts to be stowed somewhere.
However, PC enthusiasts beware - once you start thinking about how stylish your computer is going to look, you are crossing over the boundary and it's time to start perusing the other camp and seeing about getting a Mac. The new range of processors make them speedy, light and you have to admit- they work beautifully with multimedia software.
