Comparing a modular, all-in-one desktop with a TV settop box may seem odd. But we are moving to a cloud-connected world, and the NVIDIA Shield TV is a no-compromise, cloud-connected settop box close to where we are likely to end up in terms of hardware than the more typical PC or all-in-one.

The owner of a local business is a notorious skinflint, so the companyfacilities are in an advanced state of ramshackle before he even thinks about moving. Naturally, everyone is amazed when they learn that the new facility is being custom-built just for them.
