This tiny Dell desktop has gone through a lot of modifications since the original post. It underwent a case mod, mounting the power supply in the front of the case and a custom PSU mount cover being made to fit an internal power cable!

This mod allows me to uncap the frame rate without worrying about the GPU temp, really unshackling this PCs performance :D

Upgraded to 16GB of RAM and an RTX 3050, this little PC is ready for anything!

It also sports an i3-13100, a good CPU for moderate gaming, as well as an NVMe for those good load times!

Overall, this is a competent little gaming box that can also be used for a home theater, console, or even taken to LAN parties.
