Continuing to cover all the bases, PC makers are now producing all-in-one PCs aimed at the gaming crowd.
Traditionally, these have been “home PCs” for general family use. However, now it looks like box builders have noticed that gamers like big screens and may not need fan-filled crates to enjoy a spot of action.
So, the CES Show in Las Vegas has seen a couple of attempts at cramming new and powerful processors into a big screen that packs all the needed hardware.
This new class of devices produce an all-in-one that does much more than just homework, email and web browsing, and Netflix.
Maingear drops a gaming Titan on your desk
Top of the short list comes the Maingear, with its massive Alpha 34 (http://www.maingear.com/). Centered around a 34-inch 21:9 screen offering 3440 by 1440 resolution.
Inside is crammed your choice of Skylake CPU, up to a GeForce Titan X or Radon R9, 32 GB of RAM and two bays for HDD or SDD drives.
Sure, its going to be pretty thick to accommodate all those parts, but with Windows 10 installed and DirectX 12 support, they should produce some meaty gaming sessions.
That beats the pants off any previous all-in-one unit and looks pretty gorgeous, who needs VR with a screen that wide?
Origin Omni Throws a Curve
Origin has gone a step further and curved the screen on its Omni system (http://originpc.com/landing/2016/omni/). That’s the major difference between the two systems.

Otherwise, it uses a base mini ITX board with liquid cooling to quietly house your choice of processors.
They can run all the way up to an Intel Core i7 5960X and GTX Titan X, depending on your budget.

Both are American designed and built systems, made to order. Neither system has a price yet, but they won’t be cheap.
The question is, even though these all-in-ones are easy enough to upgrade will that tempt gamers away from their custom rigs and vast tower storage cases?
Do all-in-one gaming systems have a future in the market, or will these vanish into the hobby rooms of confused parents?
