I like that design too. An advantage of this design is it can remain vertical with a heavy CPU heatsink (the XTIA needs to be laid down). I also suspect the graphics card will be cooler with more airspace (I intend to put this hypothesis to the test soon). It's also not clear if they support attaching hard drives? And lastly, I anticipate this one will be cheaper all things considered (e.g. not requiring an SFX power supply) and US-made.

Thanks a lot :) I'm actually working on other concepts that don't sit on the table. This is just the beginning.

I know lol. I wanted to keep the images high-res so you can zoom in and see what's going on. GitHub hasn't bothered me (yet...)

I live with a long-haired person and we haven't had such issues -- follow your heart!

Less desk space, mostly. And there's something visually appealing about having the CPU in the center of the board.

Same. Whoever wants to do a thermal review (complete with IR imagery) gets a Monolith on the house.

Not without substantial noise, which is what drove me to become open-air pilled.

Mesh solves a problem created by Big Case Fan who want you believe that you need a case to prevent dust from entering your computer.

I kid. But honestly my quasi-passively cooled setup has been super easy to clean.

Do they also handle audio? I like having the monitor pipe audio to the sound bar so that my PC and MacBook both take advantage of the sound bar.

Built-in KVM is amazing. External KVMs are ridiculously expensive. Especially if you want powered USB-C and adaptive sync. If it even exists, you're probably talking at least $1,000.

Do you have a sound bar or external speakers? If so, I assume you only have one of your devices connected to them? With USB-B the audio source is determined by whatever device is currently selected by the monitor. It's nice.
