QUOTE(rmput @ Jul 31 2021, 11:41 PM) Hi sifus, Any recommendations for space-saving PC for regular home & gaming usage? I'm consider my option is either AIO PC or mini PC [Budget] RM1k - RM3k (can consider to stretch my budget a bit) [Purpose] PDPR for next year & for gaming occasinally Thanks in advance! What games though? Your budget won't be enough for anything decent really (especially with skyrocketing PC parts right now)  Also, I don't recommend AIO PCs due to limited upgrade paths

While this is a good option, do note that some older Optiplex machines may not support TPM 1.2/2.0, which means you cannot upgrade to Windows 11 officially This can be an issue as Windows 10 will cease support in 4 years
