That's probably true. However, I'm sure there are people out there who have very limited space and do not need that extra power for the games ey play.

Given the world these last few years, there have been many people who have been forced to downsize and get or become room mates or live in an RV. This doesn't necessarily mean a person can't enjoy a little downtime. The primary point is that every inch counts. Or so, she says.

Then they can spend less money on a less powerful ATX system. I don't understand where the confusion is coming from.

Please re-read my post. I said multiple times that a small form factor is crucial in some situations.

ATX = full desktop form factor Mini-ITX = smaller OP video = compact

It's not always about money. It's not always about raw power either.
