Perhaps you've always liked the idea of owning a good gaming PC, but then you've asked yourself the nagging question that puts you off: where will I put it? Not everyone has the benefit of a big spare room they can turn into a private office/gaming lounge at short notice. Thankfully, this doesn't mean the end of your PC gaming dreams. A mini gaming PC could be the perfect answer for you. Smaller doesn't have to equal a compromise on quality either. Here are some unique benefits of choosing the mini option:

Portability

It may sound obvious but being able to move it around at ease is one of the main benefits of a mini gaming PC, many of which are even smaller than typical game consoles. There's nothing like a full sized lovingly constructed PC to add to your stress when you need to move house, office or even transport it to another room nearby. Not only does it take effort, but you'll be extra scared of breaking it in transit. You'll have far less aggravation if you choose a mini variation such as this SFX Extra Mini PC named after the mythical Greek Titan Styx.

Ease of movement is a great benefit you can look forward to in choosing a mini PC over a larger counterpart. Don't underestimate their processing ability either; what mini gaming PCs lack in size they tend to make up for in power.

Power

They may not have the flashy specs of bulky top range systems but mini gaming PCs do fine for themselves in a competitive market, consistently outperforming consoles in their ability to deliver a quality gaming experience. If trading in processing power for extra portability was something you're worried about, there's no need. The Minos extreme system, for example, comes with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card to back up its credentials. All of your favourite games will still find a good home here.

LAN Gameplay

In the old times, before online gaming exploded in both popularity and feasibility, friends would get together to play games in the same room. A lot of gamers in fact still like the idea of this, but it isn't quite as common even on game consoles nowadays, and with a full sized gaming PC you likely won't have the willingness to move everything to another location when it is supported.

Some public locations let visitors play together in what's called a LAN (Local Area Network) party, but the ability to host in your own home is an issue that's easily solved thanks to the compactness and portability of mini gaming PCs. House parties? No - instead try LAN parties, combining the best of modern online and local gameplay among friends.
