Held high 1080p in everything I throw at it, and the PSU headroom means I can drop a bigger GPU in next year. Numbers inside.

Cable management in the last photo is genuinely clean. What are your idle and load temps on that cooler?

Forked this straight into the configurator to price a 1440p variant — the server bumped the PSU tier and it still scored well. Love that it just works.
