Dream PC Description
I've wanted to play the PC video games i want, but as a 17 year old, i don't have a job and my parents think it's going to be a waste of money to buy one for me. so i'm either forced to only be allowed cheap upgrades or stick with the low graphics settings and low framerates.i'd like to see a a PC designed for exactly just gaming and doesn't have to feature any of the usual things such as being able to do work on it or whatever. it could be just like another console where you have a set standard and all the games are tested on the particular machine to make sure the game can run on specified graphics settings with reasonable framerates, and you use the mouse and keyboard and can play any PC game and have the option to use controllers.
just like the xbox 360, there could be 3 editions. the cheapest one which can just about play the latest games on low settings, an average priced one which could play the latest games on medium graphics settings and the most expensive one for enthusiasts and ppl who are willing to waste a bit of extra cash.
if enough advertising goes into it, i rekcon ppl will want to get into the PC gaming thing. too many ppl nowadays are scared off by the ideas that they have to constantly upgrade hardware themselves. well here's the solution.
you wouldn't have to supply a monitor with the PC, but you could if you want to get a bit more revenue. and maybe you could get a little reduction of the selling price of the products by getting advertising from games developers/.
it'd have to be pretty cheap so that more parents would be perhaps willing to purchase it for their kids. there's a new market for you. spoilt brats! if you can get it cheap but powerful enough still.

>> "it could be just like another console"...
>> "it'd have to be pretty cheap"...
It sounds to me like you're either describing a PC that you can't upgrade, or a video game console that runs x86-based software on it (just like an original XBox, but without the DRM signing).
Here's the problem with that: The manufacturer would have to make all their money up front, because they can't subsidize the cost and make the money back by licensing other companies to produce games for it. So, you end up paying $1000 for a game console who's only benefit is that it can play current PC games... for the next year or two until PC specs double.
