AVADirect Mini Gaming PC review: custom-built, compact powerhouse

At just over $2000, the Mini Gaming PC is a good choice for gamers on a budget, and the chassis, though small, leaves a decent amount of room for upgrading. We gave the Mini Gaming PC an overall rating of 4 stars, because it’s powerful, compact, and surprisingly tinker-friendly.
