While the market for low end PC's may be declining, the market for high end PC enthusiast\gameing rigs seems to be growing. Chip Manufactures like Intel, AMD & Nivida are developing faster chip sets aimed at this market every year. As new chip set are released, aftermarket companies like Asus, MSI, Gigabyte.......etc......etc.....are also continuing to develop new high end products for the PC.
Precisely! These companies know what to produce to satisfy market damand, and while they have diversified to incorporate the portable device, the components for desktop PC's have had significant money and development invested in them despite a shift in market preferences. Now companies like Intel, Nvidia and AMD would not be dedicating the huge resources required to develop and manufacture such components if there was no future in the market for them.
And let's not forget Apple and its latest contribution to the desktop PC http://store.apple.com/au/buy-mac/mac-pro Now if the arse was going to fall out of the market I seriously doubt that Apple would have invested so much time, effort and money in developing such a beast... not to mention relocating its manufacture from China back to the United States.
The truth is, there will always be gamers, enthusiasts and businesses who will depend on the desktop PC to apply their particular trade/skill, etc.
That's one heck of case starkers, oh and nice seeing you here again. No doubt you know you have been missed.
Hey Philly, nice to see you again... and yeah, the case is a beauty alright. I had seen it on various websites and the like, but once I had seen it up close and personal I knew I had to have it. It has fantastic specs... and it's HUGE! I mean, the guy showing it to me temporarily put in the longest graphics card they had in the store [14.3"] and there was still 3 to 4 inches to spare. I have a Gigabyte ATI 7970HD at 11.2" in my current case, which is also a full tower [not small], and there's only about 2 inches spare, meaning this new one is ginormous and I'll have to modify my desk to accommodate it.
Hey Cap'n.......you got a license for that thing?
Nope, and I don't plan on getting one, either. With an Intel i7 4770K under the hood, no copper's gonna catch me. Hehe, when I took it for a test drive I found doing nought to 60 was possible in 2.2 seconds, so I'll be just cruisin' when the coppers give up the chase Trouble was, though, to do corners at 90mph I had to press Control,Shift and hold my mouse real tight.
