I wonder if swapping the radiator fans with something like Noctuas would help with the noise; even though the user shouldn't have to on an expensive new PC.

What's the point? PC, particularly that small (because it's not meant to be put on the floor), should be virtually silent at least in office applications. Besides, it doesn't even look like a specialized gaming machine and the CPU would be an overkill even with an RTX 4090.

In such PC the CPU (preferably a tad cooler than i7-13900K) should be cooled passively by a radiator-shaped case and it's the GPU which should be water-cooled (particularly when it's just an RTX 4070).

Looks awful.

Mismatched specs.

Horrible value.

Is anyone else annoyed specifically by how the crack in the front doesn't have the same width, from top to bottom?

BTW, the lighting makes it look teal colored, which feels reminiscent of old SGI machines, but their website suggests it only comes in Grey and "Extreme Dark Grey". I'd consider something teal-colored, like some of the Beelink mini-PCs.
