In a year or so I really should consider replacing this "old faithful" PC, but I'm caught in a dilemma. I'm pushed for space because the computer desk I have just fits nicely in the area designated for it and any PC newer than mine, that I would even consider giving house-room to, has a bigger case.
Any likelihood that Alienware or Dell are going to make their top-of-the-line products any smaller in the coming months? I see online that many reviewers have criticised them for this. The Dell XPS is extremely tall and the Alienware Area 51 or ALX is extremely deep.
In my desk, the Dell XPS would just fit but only have a half inch space all around and part of the back would be blocked, not good for air circulation.
The Alienware Area 51 would fit OK but jut out the front by 3 or 4 inches more than my current one.
I positiively refuse to go laptop, so sorry, that is not an alternative.
I suppose I could just move the desk over to the left by a foot and place the tower outside/alongside the desk.
You may think I'm crazy, but a) I want top of the line, b) I'm incapable of building my own, sorry, and c) this is all just musing anyway for want of something else to do.
However, any comments would be appreciated, as always.
LOL.:??
