    350€ = 405 USD once you add in a mouse keyboard and monitor you are over 500 the figure I used. Decrease your figures further and it gets shittier fast.

      You could always attach the pc to the TV, and if you don’t have one you’d need one for the console anyways.

      And my screens were like 17,50 each also used obvs. Fair point about the peripheries though…

      And my pc would be overkill if you buy a console for gaming.

        Using a TV for general computing would be fairly broken due to font rendering and DPI. Comparing used anything is fraught because its filled with caveats and isn’t repeatable.

          Fair points, my situation doesn’t apply to everyone.

          I occasionally use my htpc for light office work, the terrible ergonomics are the only problem In that case.
