The noisiest fan in my computer is the video card and I don't think the case size matters there? The other ones are practically silent already

I took the fan off my gpu and just blow on it like a hot cup of coffee

the problem with the whole desktop computer concept is that you could have spent that money on drugs

my desktop is the perfect crystalline embodiment of my platonic gaming pc vision. i spent weeks carefully selecting each premium component on newegg.com, weighing thousands of reviews and hundreds of pages of tom's hardware articles to arrive at a level of aesthetic refinement and elegance that is truly unsurpassed, with no compromises to speed or power. the blacklight-reactive cables alone cost me dozens of dollars. at work they call me a sandwich artist, but for me, screwing together asus and msi products and mounting them in a 150-pound case with spoilers on it is the truest medium of artistic expression.

Laptops will never pull ahead. It will always be cheaper and easier to stick components in a big box than in a tiny wafer. It will always be easier to cool a desktop than a laptop. A desktop will always be easier to upgrade than a laptop (important either if you need to always have the latest thing, or are poor/cheap and want to keep your computer running for as long as humanly possible.)

The only way laptops will ever surpass desktops is if we give up our fetish for making things smaller and thinner If people were willing to go back to laptops the size of a briefcase that weigh 15 pounds, then laptops could possibly match desktops.. That would give you room for a big screen, a big battery, a proper keyboard, a cooling system, and so on.

by the time you've attached an external gpu, a decent monitor, a usable keyboard, a mouse that isn't poo poo and decent speakers all you've got is an expensive desktop that you could conceivably take with you if you could ever be hosed (which you can't)

but... but... my docking station!!
