I may consider it, but I will rarely be pushing the system. I wonder how hard it is to remove the heatsink and fan.
After more testing, I did notice some tearing, so I went back to the original settings of 2xR, 2XAA, 2XAF and v-sync enabled. I think that's the best compromise.
The fan did kick in pretty high occasionally during longer gaming sessions. Kinda like a hair dryer in low. With game sounds, it isn't an issue, but it would suck for office work next to your ear. During HTPC/normal use the fan never ramps up.
Funtasticguy - If gaming and emulation are your primary needs, I would not recommend this system. Get a dedicated GPU and an over-clockable CPU. If size is an issue, I highly recommend it. I needed a small PC that fit into the spot next to the Wii U and wanted something with more power than the NUC.
