Desktops seem to be fading fast.

Mostly you find all-in-one computers these days, plus laptops/notebooks and 
tablets.

Seems the only people interested in discrete computers are gamers who want to 
be able to constantly upgrade individual components.

That’s not to say there isn’t a ton of hardware around. Just that the market is 
shrinking fast.

These days, everything is connected by SATA, USB, Firewire, HDMI, and WiFi, 
rather than backplanes and ribbon cables.
