    I would rather build a gaming PC in 33K than buying this. Price is too steep considering they are here to compete the conventional desktops (I believe?). Since it's not a complete system (still requires monitor, keyboard, etc...) I don't find its small size any entertaining. I guess it'll consume same space as any conventional tower if we see it as a system with other required components. Believe it or not, the bigger is the screen the better it is. You can shrink the CPU but cannot do the same with monitor and keyboard. If I've to use the computer at home, I'd rather prefer a powerful system than a small one. Add in the inflexibility of choosing the system configuration and ability to upgrade it as per needs, this is a big no no for a desktop system. But again, that's just me.
