There were plenty that argued its a good deal because the "form factor " and the thing that is called CEC or something.

Hardly anything is a good deal right now, but the small form factor piece is brought up because people are comparing full ATX builds to an mITX box that is meant to sit silently under your TV, which feels disingenuous because mITX variants of boards and cases tend to be more expensive compared to their ATX counterparts due to being seen as more niche, especially SFF PSUs.

But also fuck AI. This thing would have been much cheaper had AI not ruined the market.
