So it could he sold at $150 and they would still make a profit

Who makes that PSU? Is it a reputable OEM like SeaSonic or something that will turn into a "Chinese firecracker"?

I can't find anything at all on who the OEM is for that series, anywhere. Just too new. Need to wait. I'm sure reviews will be incoming before too very long. Pretty sure Aris over at Hardwarebusters will have a sample sooner rather than later.

According to official UK resellers, this monitor is EOL and not available, so they must have a lorry full of monitors to move, as any sensible person isn't going to spend the money they want for a PSU and better monitors and PSUs available

I'm thinking its going to be pretty difficult to have a fanless PC that can actually use anything near 800w peak. You would be talking a massive radiator or two. Easily 30L each. Maybe a thermosiphon? But I've never seen one used fanless, or on a GPU. And then you need to eliminate coil whine.

The reason they are discounting it is probably because they realize it has limited use cases and it's likely just to gather publicity for their brand.

Interesting product to be sure. Unfortunately I would likely point a noctua fan at it anyway 😂
