This type of design isn't useful. Round things don't fit neatly anywhere on a desk. Air cooling makes no sense when your design goal is high performance in a small space. What would really be useful is something 2.5" thick and as long and wide as necessary. Think about it you could lay it flat on your desk and put your screen on top of it, stand it up behind your screen, hang it on the wall behind your screen, bolt it to the under side of your desk, bolt it to the back of your desk, or bolt it to the side of your desk.
- cr0sh 10y agoSo something like a 1U server?

- robotjosh 10y agoYeah!
- xanderstrike 10y agoIt doesn't need to be that thick or that wide even. Consider the Magnus EN1080 [1]. It's a bit taller than a mac mini, has an i7 and a GTX 1080. It's got the liquid cooling you seem keen on too. I believe this is the future of pre-built PCs. It's so much more convenient than a big beige box or the monitor stand you're talking about. 1. https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/magnus-en1080-10-year-anniversary-edition https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/magnus-en1080-10-y...
- robotjosh 10y agoThat is a cool product. I'm thinking of a form factor like that but longer or wider so the components are not all on top of each other.
