Ryan, the number of typos, odd technical phrasings, and unsupported claims in this entry reflects pretty poorly on the author, even considering this is Pipeline. Maybe see if Jarred wants to return in a part-time capacity? :)
More than once I've listed resolutions in the form WTF x Lines, because I just wasn't sure or the actual resolution sounded too darn crazy to be real. Most commonly when referring to WTFx768 panels, as I STILL can't remember the horizontal resolution on those. Obviously, I am not writing professionally, though.
Do you mean 1024×768 (standard XGA resolution), 1280×768 (as it was on fujitsu p1610 and some other laptops by fujitsu, sony and some others), 1366×768 (this "HD" abomination), 1360×768 (somewhat better but less frequently encountered "HD" abomination) or 1600×768 (sony vaio p series and some others)?
You're right.. because of the 450 W PSU. Apart from that: look at the water cooler of the R9 295X2: it handles ~500 W OK with just a 120 mm and a 90 mm fan.
Without seeing this taken apart to see what they're doing with the airflow in there, I'm a little suspicious (also because of that 450W limit). I mean it seems a waste to buy premium parts and put them in such an environment. So it makes me wonder if they're targeting people with more money than sense here.
"The concept of the all-in-one desktop personal computer was created to save space and simplify design of PCs."
Hmm, really? I thought it was created because to call them "iMac clones" was considered undesirable by all parties involved. You learn something new everyday...
Regarding the power consumption, my [email protected] (turbo), (28 threads), R9-280X (250w TDP), 4x4GB DDR4, systems only use 416 watts each, at the wall at full load, or about 385 watts from the PSU once you factor for the ~90% efficiency of the PSU.
I very much would have to argue against the v3 Xeon's consuming a lot of power, as the article states. My model has a 120w TDP. Some models are as high as 145w TDP.
Still, I can't argue that a 450w PSU will last very long near it's maximum output, and that a higher capacity unit would have been more sensible, at least as an option.

Waah? This is not an English lit site guy.aznchum - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
3840x1440 is not the correct resolution for a 21:9 34" monitor. The correct resolution should be 3440x1440.ImSpartacus - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
Well shit, I just learned something...I think I've made that mistake a couple times in the past. /shame

It's 1366x768, although kill me now x 768, come on it's 2016 x 768 and a decent vertical resolution for a widescreen x 768 are all acceptable.eSyr - Friday, January 8, 2016 - link

Man I drooled at the Apple 5k screen and now this is making me drool even more. But $2k all the way to 1/2 a car for price tag, daaaamn.jasonelmore - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - link
and it will throttle like a stock amd 290..no way in hell this can handle 500w of heat generated by a 18 core intel cpu and titan x
