Minisforum is coming in big, for such a small computer. They have seized the mini format, and are jamming in tremendous power. I have nothing but minicomputers in the house, running Linux.
Putting in such power means innovative cooling solutions. Before last Christmas, I saw the coming DDR5, and ssd, appookalipse and ordered a powerful machine to run some AI video processing. It came with a 'liquid metal' cooling system. It worked fine for 6 months.
Then I got hit with a problem that was all over the Internet. The cooler became an insulator. I could only run for 5 minutes before it died. No problem, in order to instil confidence in their machines, they put in a 2 year warranty. Their machines really are on the bleeding edge, and they needed this.
My problem was that I had lots of memory and a ssd drive that was now 3 times more expensive. I took that out, and they sent a new machine that had the same memory holder format. I just put in my chips and it worked perfectly. They went through a lot of effort to find a solution that worked.
So, buy with confidence. Hopefully, prices will drop soon.
