Hey guys,
Excuse the slightly confusing title. Also, i couldn't find a better forum to post this, so decided the graphics card forum will have the best response.
So, in a nutshell, I am a Mac owner but love PC gaming. As it stands I use bootcamp to get windows on my mac. But its quite a tedious process to have to restart mac everytime i want to game... coupled with the fact my girlfriend gets desperate to play Ori all the time when I am trying to work on the Mac.
Anyway, I want a way to play PC games that don't include having to have a full blown computing station in the house (display, tower, desk and chair). Basically, I want to have it connected to the TV somehow. Last time i approached this subject several years ago, I did my research and "PC Consoles" were becoming a thing. Steam was releasing one but that is dead in the water now.
Entertainment PC's were also a thing. They were expensive, but loads of people were building them and they seemed to have a lot of hype - they were primarily aimed at movie watchers, but some had good graphics cards. However that doesn't seem to be a popular thing anymore either.
I checked out xBox Ones, because they started playing PC games with the PLay anywhere feature. But it only seems to be a select few games... and the wireless stream feature would still require a PC so that doesnt cut it either.
So... what can i do guys? My perfect solution, would be a discreet(ish) horizontal PC that can go in my TV cabinet. That could also double up as a personal server then and i could sell my current Mycloud server
Cheers
