All in one PC - wide screen, lots of storage for home use

[Speed.deman]

Weirdly, can't find a lot of good information on Google and few comparison articles.

Need a new PC for the following and would prefer an all in one as I like the look and it will go in to the living room.

1. Standard hi res video and youtube stuff

2. I do quite a lot of photo editing on Lightroom and Photoshop

3. Would like good internal speakers, but happy to attach good externals.

4. As large an SSD as possible to run Windows 10 off of (not interested in Mac)

5. Couple of TB by way of hard drive space.

6. Wide screen

7. Spare HDMI so that I can plug into a second screen or TV

8. DVD drive would be a big plus, just in case.

Both look great, thank you. Budget is fine too. Is there anything else you think I should be considering for the money?

Assume the 34" might be a bit overpowering? Is it something that is used for normal stuff or media professionals?

Thanks all. Slightly dazzled by the last two posts! More than happy to consider an alternations set up.

Are there comparable mini towers or PCs out there?

I do like the aesthetic of the single all in one though... :-)

Thanks again guys. This is really helpful and I'm happy to be open minded. I started looking for the smallest form factor I could get as a PC, which I can combine with the sort of monitor that has been linked to above.

This looks interesting from Overclockers: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/primo-nano-i3-intel...

Are these good computers? Sorry, I appreciate how broad a question this is! I immediately note that there is only one HDMI port though, which is a problem unless I can spec it with two?

Appearance-wise, looks perfect and can be twineed with a slick screen?

You can get tiny PCs from the big box shippers, e.g.

Dell certainly sell them too.

They are classed as "Tiny" or "Micro" or "1L" for "One Litre" if you want to google them.

That Overclockers nano PC does look expensive to me. I have one of these HP mini PCs sitting behind my TV and it's more powerful than the Overclockers one and much cheaper (the one below is used, not sure what the new price would be). I believe you can attach a couple of 4K monitors to it. One through the HDMI port and one on the DisplayPort.

It's not quite as small, but it is very slim and is designed so you can fix it to the back of a monitor/TV on the VESA wall mount fixings.

I use it mainly for films, youtube and web browsing on a standard HD TV. believe Lightroom might need something with a graphics card to run it well. Bear in mind that it is too small to fit in a dedicated card and there's only room for one SSD/hard drive.

Super helpful, thank you.

I’ve got an i7 version of this pc with an ssd, mated up to a 32" monitor and it’s superb.

Previously had a Dell XPS27 at work and one at home, both still running well but wanted a bigger screen at work.

Hi there, good to hear you've got this! Is there the option of adding more ports at all? Especially HDMI? With just one how can you add another screen? Is a splitter the only option?

And just to confirm, you've got the HP or the overclockers?
