Mini-ITX gameing?

[Ait'al]

I'm also partly thinking of in concept. Not necessarily with this hardware. I was just curious how powerful these were specifically. I'm not familiar with any of the stuff in the specs. Software wise though it would be cool. if you got the ball rolling maybe the hardware companies would work on it. then maybe they would be at one point be cost efficient. Some games are around a decade or more. You can play some stuff with older hardware for a long time. so it's not infeasible someone could use a machine like this for certain gaming. And some people would stick to those games.(WoW for instance or SW:TOR or the previous mmo Galaxies) I also brought it up incase they were and people could use them now. Especially since they were only 300 dollars. Even if they could play medium to low settings some people might like them if the hardware was good enough. I though maybe they strapped good GPUs with basic CPU/ram so they could play decently or something. Could make good starter machines.

You never know a market could grow for them too. And that fact they are small and portable would make it better. If you could make the machines work together too and have like 3 mini ITX splitting processing and the hand devices it might work out(you could get cases with ports to hook together on the side as datapaths). You could have a 5 person gaming session with 3 machines and 5 tablets or something. It's not impossible. Could be convenient for people who want to get together for small gaming stuff in their homes. they could even make cases that let you hook them together to split processing and let you change and upgrade and be desktops. It could be a good concept. And it could make competition to console gaming. a full desktop could beat a console pretty quick with the dignity of a full desktop OS and features. add in power plugs in the front for the tablets if you want and the option of wired and wireless and it could be a good idea.

And the tablet could still be split to be able to run one part of the graphics or another. Even if it's just the smaller stuff like the GUI for the game or something. or a small part of the physics. You could let the software let you chose what to run based on your specs and what it could run. Then dump the rest on the CPU CPUs of the mini machines.

If you just get the software going the hardware companies may follow. Especially if you come up with good stuff to run the graphics splitting or give an idea of what the hardware should do in scope. The imagination can lead to a lot of good engineering designs. Having the idea and criteria for the machine can give a lot to attempt to build one. Criteria is important. 8p
