I've been seeing that there are on the market some compact gaming pc, with form factors similar to console ones, by the such of Alienware or Asus or.

Any thoughts/experience with them?

I'm thinking of a gaming pc for the living room, which of course eliminates the chance of a classic desktop and even a laptop. The compact ones seem to have many advantages I'm looking for: compact, transportable, ready out of the box, decently powered.

On the other hand, I also know that you can assemble a compact rig yourself, but I'm not experienced in it and short of spare time to investigate, buy and assemble parts. My parameters to keep in mind would be: compactness, decent muscle (not necessary to be extreme), not power hungry device. Budget: around 600€

Can anybody give me any advice?

thanks for the link and the ideas. appreciated the noisy bit. that makes me think that a commercial product could be better, since the heat flow could be better studied and fan noise reduced. i'm somehow expectant of the new steamboxes.
