Yes and no. Use case is the great definer here. This machine has been, and still is, many things; NAS, router, media server, server server, karaoke machine. Hell I even fell for that Chia Coin bingo card bullshit for about a month years back, and pressed it into service to 'farm' that with a big old ugly Noctua cooler sticking out of the open case.
Actually that's a good example bc doing that shit fried the RAM and if I had been using a laptop with so-dimm and soldered it would have likely grilled the whole board.
At the moment it's set up on a work bench desk in a corner of the drawing room where everyone in the household can finger fuck the screens if they wish and I don't have to worry about it . When kids ask if they can play games on it they either get gzdoom or mame or sent away disappointed.
Also it is silent. I love silent computers.

I know plenty of people who don’t even use their laptop much because they’re doing everything on their phones or game consoles.

Thank you but no.
