For the longest time I have wanted what is essentially a PC-console where you buy signed parts that essentially work together as a console.

It would be a true "gaming pc" in the sense that it would really only be good for gaming with very restrictive hardware and software.

This is just called a "console" they literally are just normal PC's with verified hardware.
That you cannot upgrade and are locked in to a single vendor that allows you to lease games from them. Not that.
You can now upgrade storage, perhepharals, monitor and usually have at least a generation of backwards compatability the lines are blurring.

I can also get more then twice as many headshots if I plug in a mouse inplace of a controller when dose that become cheating for people wanting to play from the couch?

Not sure if any vendor verified hardware program can avoid lockin due to economics, but it would certainly be nice.

Ah, signed parts. This is a great idea and a good compromise between the what I mentioned and a full blown console.

Would be great if they strictly enforced what versions of windows you were allowed to run.

that’s called a mac
