Plenty of open space there. You can house a whole hamster environment inside that thing.

Is that a Mini-ITX board in a mid-sized tower? Seems like a bit of a waste.

StrongBad

I really like AMD's APUs the first generation was really under powered but the new chips have been fantastic for what they are.

scottalanmiller

I've never seen one but @Mike-Ralston assured me that these A10s were pretty screaming.

Yes - but I was told no gaming on this box... Office work only.

The A10s actually do really good with gaming at a medium setting. Although I can understand why you aren't supposed to use it for that.

@g.jacobse

You can install steam and do that. Steam is a corporate approved gaming medium

scottalanmiller

Gaming is, and always has been, rather central to the NTG culture.

scottalanmiller

NTG has a Steam group, too. As does ML, for anyone interested and not a member of it.
