Gaming Rig Time

@Dashrender and basing product volume off of what you see at BestBuy or such is not an accurate measurement of what's on the market. When it comes to parts and not full machines, they only sell low end. Sadly, their peripherals are the same way. Monitors, Keyboards, and Mice that they sell aren't anything close to good. I haven't seen a new monitor in years that hasn't had HDMI on it, and they always have DVI. I even have a few from around 1997 here that all have DVI-D and/or DVI-I. VGA is still widely in use, as a lot of companies and business owners and such all bought in on it when it was VGA only. Now, as is common with businesses, they'll keep their technology as long as it works, to avoid spending money. So I think VGA is here to stay, for at least another 5-10 years or so. But, just because a lot of people are running less than 1GB of RAM on DDR2, it doesn't mean that that's the optimal amount to shoot for. As with all other Gamer-Oriented technologies, it's for certain niche people. I don't see any reason someone who works with spreadsheets would ever need a Desktop with dual GTX Titan Z's and a 6 Panel 4K setup all on DisplayPort, with a Z97X board Running the latest 8-Core Intel, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and have all of their storage on a bunch of 1TB SSD's in RAID 0. No, most of those technologies are not useful to the average person (And an argument could be made that they're not useful, lol). But it doesn't mean they don't have their place.

my only complaint is that it only had HDMI ports (oh and a display port -ug).
I love the small box and it hangs from the back of a monitor!

Mine is not going to be on a monitor so that doesn't matter too much.

Are you going to get one Scott?
