My wife doesn't like the look of a tower and just wants to see a monitor on the desk. The only issue is that the market for that is going to be running laptop spec parts or worse. So what I want to put together for her is a monitor with a shroud on the back that covers all of the desktop size parts. I know there's the Eluktronics 34" 1440p, but that's $1000 US.
I could do a setup like Linus has where the PC is in a different room or in the desk or something, but that's not the fun of the challenge! And no, I don't want to make it a small form factor build. I want it kick the shit out my computer's.
