Desktops seem to be fading fast.
Mostly you find all-in-one computers these days, plus laptops/notebooks and tablets.
Seems the only people interested in discrete computers are gamers who want to be able to constantly upgrade individual components.
That’s not to say there isn’t a ton of hardware around. Just that the market is shrinking fast.
These days, everything is connected by SATA, USB, Firewire, HDMI, and WiFi, rather than backplanes and ribbon cables.
