The [Borg Cube PC](https://www.cnet.com/news/borg-cube-gaming-pc/#ftag=YHF65cbda0?yptr=yahoo). I have to admit this looks pretty awesome and seems reasonably priced. ---

You might want to avoid the Bluetooth headsets and VR eyepieces. 😃 ---

Looks like it gathers a lot of dust. ---

That’s cool but the specs aren’t great for a gaming computer. The $899 model has integrated graphics. I just want the case, let me build the insides. Some Taiwan company will probably come out with a similar case. ---

I like the look of that - may I amuse you with this? N.B. I apologise for any advertising that appears on the video. I have no connection with the company - it was just the best by far of the selection of youtube videos. ---

I don’t think the $899 one is intended as a gaming computer. That’s still the 6" case, and is a general-purpose home computer, just one that’s a bit beefier than the intro-level $599 one. It’s the 12" CubeVR model which is intended as a gaming computer, and it does have a separate graphics processor (or multiple processors). ---

Waiting for the “7 of 9” model.
