Mini computers, as opposed to normal desktop PCs, are very common these days because of their size factor and price. Also, comparing the possible configurations of mini computers, you can have one that is as powerful as normal sized desktop PCs, but at half the size and a little less expensive due to some design aspects, such as built in power supply and the usual configurations that are built using cheaper and slightly slower components. Even so, you can also get a very silent PC using this type of design because the cooling system usually includes a single, larger and slower rotating fan, which is far less noisier as compared to cooling systems used in normal computers.
Mini computers are yet to hit the market with a bang, but a lot of costumers have started being interested in this type of design for their living room media center. They would use a normal PC, but it would be too large and noisy to be the perfect fit in an elegant living room. So, if you want to have a nice movie theater at home, this is the best possible pick.
Mini computers have also seen an increase in the availability of case models with some very interesting and beautiful designs. As mentioned above, the main focus if these mini computers is to fit perfectly into a modern living room as the main media center of the house. So, you need a couple of things. First, you want these mini computers as silent as possible, which means that they you either want no fans or a large one that has an RPM no higher than 1200. You also want an elegant design of the case and you will eventually need to have quick access to all the functions. This can be solved with either a wireless mouse and keyboard kit that you can place on the coffee table or you can also use a multimedia remote control that is capable of controlling all the computer’s features with ease.
In the end, I think the mini computers will be part of the future evolution of general PCs, together with the mini notebooks we talked about earlier. You will have a powerful mini notebook for your daily use and a mini computer as a home cinema main unit in your living room, fully packed with a blueray player and HD playback.
