There are many types of games and mostly use a keyboard and a mouse to play them.
There are some games that are better played using a PC controller. The controllers as an example are joystick, gamepads, wheels, Pedals, etc… There are games like flight simulators who require cockpit equipment like joysticks, or flight sticks, pedals, throttle, etc… In case you like more to drive fast on car/bike race simulators, then you can use a joystick, or a gamepad or a wheel and pedals to be able to simulate in full the car driving experience.

The virtual reality games, require you to wear some computer wires, in order for you to feel as if you are really within the game, and part of it, so there are somebody pads, gloves, etc… that you can wear and the computer can know where you are against the game being played, and what actions you do, and transfer them into the game. Even though those kinds of games are not yet in our home computers, they will probably get there eventually, and even for them, there is suitable equipment.

There are so many types of gamepads out there, that I have no intention
of listing them all. But I will let you get a glimpse of what is out there, and you will be able to search yourself for the gamepad that suits you best.

Remark: I have to say this since I sometimes prefer using the keyboard and mouse for certain games, that might be played better with gamepads or joysticks, but still it is a matter of taste, all you need to do is just try it out, and see if it suits you.

When you love playing flight simulators, one of the most thrilling parts, other than amazing graphics and excellent performances, are the tools you are playing with. Since it is a simulator, you actually visualize yourself sitting in the cockpit (fighter plane, commercial airliner or a chopper) holding the stick and do amazing things, kill the enemy or just be able to lift off, and land again safely. So, to be able to visualize it better, you need the fitting controllers in your hands and for that, you have many different types of controllers to choose from and you can find those devices that will connect to your computer, and fit to the game you like to play, this will change the game experience for you, guaranteed.

There are racing games and most of them simulate the driving of a car to perfection, so all that you miss from the game experience are the actual hits, the slides through the turns, G forces, drifts etc…. you can see the car doing amazing tricks, and know that they will affect you in such a way, but it is in your mind, and you can’t really feel it on your body. To be able to visualize it better, there are computer controllers, joystick, wheels, pedals that can give you the thrill of holding the wheel while you go crazy around the track and you can also choose those with “Force-Feedback” that can give you resistance and trembling while you drive, so you might have a feel of the ground shaking under the wheels. Again, there are many options out there, just check, maybe try it out before you buy, purchase it, and enjoy the real simulation experience of playing those games.

We can choose a game controller or we can just stick to a keyboard and a mouse, and still enjoy the games immensely as the games improve performance and graphics, so we can enjoy an almost real like effects of playing the games. Computer game graphics are getting seriously close to becoming almost like video, the characters and views are so real, you almost get the feeling you’re out there, and it is the real-world.

Enjoy playing games!!!

The “all in one” computer is a computer that includes all of our needs in one computer. This means that if we need a good screen (for games or accurate graphics, and to show movies in HD (high definition)) this computer can enable us to do so on it. When we need performance to run anything, including high-performance games, this computer will have the correct configuration to achieve these needs. When we want internet speed, and the high rate of traffic transferred through its network card, it will have the appropriate devices/tools to achieve it. In short, all in one computer serves all our needs in one box.

When computers were not as powerful as we know they are today, we used to have a couple of them for different purposes. Graphic designers would use only the MAC computer for their graphic design tools and now they can use the same powerful graphic design tools on a regular PC with a windows operating system. We used to have servers to run server designated applications, to be able to use large databases and server operations and now we can do all that on a regular PC. So when we look at things from the point of the progress view, today’s computers have the power to become an all in one solution.

We know that we would prefer to use one device that does it all, instead of using a couple of devices for each purpose, this solution saves us space to place all of those separate devices, and we get all of their functions in one device, that stand on our desk, and does it all, like an all in one printer, which includes fax, scanner, printer, etc…

Now, we want to know if we can use all in one computer to do all of our needs. The answer, in my opinion, is that we can have it all in one computer. We can install a VMware server on a regular computer, and install on it several of our operating system needs. We can include the Linux operating system, and Server operating system, and a regular desktop operating system like Windows XP or Windows 7, and be able to run them all together at the same time.

The only thing we might need is an enhanced regular PC, which has more memory (8GB RAM and more), quad CPU, larger hard-disks, depending on how much hard-disk we would like to allocate for each instance (instance is each operating system we choose to install on a VM platform since the computer itself is the VM server).

Those enhancements are not as expensive today as they used to be, and for quite a reasonable price you can get all of the operating systems you need running on one computer.

So an all in one computer can definitely be done today.
