Half decent? I think I would rather use this as a trash can. Even then it would barely pass as mine looks pretty sweet. Not to mention it looks like the kind of nonsense that Alienware would make.
not some time this year - they say it on youtube ; March 2016 ^^
Do you mean silly big as well or just small?Call me a grumpy old man but I don't like silly form factors....

First Prebuild I'd consider buying in... ooh 5 years? I mean, I still don't like the 'gamer' bits on it and I'd sure as hell would want it to look more minimal but this is really cool. The obvious lack of upgrades would annoy me after about five minutes though.
If it is as quiet as the Mac Pro then its a winner.
You said it lack of upgrades, custom everything... If something breaks then the thing pretty much becomes a shiny trashcan
You mean like a laptop, right?
When did I mention I like laptops as the "main" rig...
Then if you are going to put NUCs or that intel compute stick in the argument, again, those are for specific limited tasks and don't cost a bunch lot if they stop working.
