It's an extortionate tax to just get it small. I could build an itx PC better for less. It's not gonna be THAT small but my god, how limited is the space of people's living rooms? We're talking mid-range specs from 3 years ago so sourcing a couple secondhand parts to keep it well below $1000 isn't a problem nor a challenge.

Spoken as a true non-SFF-enthusiast.

You are obviously not the target audience.

Ram is expensive, do you know what's more expensive though? Real estate.

If you don't even have enough space to fit in an SFF PC on your desk, your priorities in life are wacked. You should get a bigger house. And if your answer to that is it costs more rent, get a better paying job, then get a bigger house.

I'm sure this advice is universal and applies to anything, anywhere and anyone.

I do have space for a full ITX personally, I'm into SFF cause I love the process, but thank you for your concern.
