I'm not sure what the 1 star reviews are referring to...maybe they got a lemon? I've been running this little guy for a month straight (that's 24/7 with a load range from 30-100%) and that is not an exaggeration. So far this computer has handled everything I've put it through. I've been running 10 browsers streaming video, another research browser with 12 tabs open, AND rendering a 2k video ALL at the same time and this little computer eats it up. This thing has been running for a month straight with no sign of slowing down. Also, it is not as loud as people say...I'm not exactly sure what they are used to but it is much quieter than the 16 core Threadripper PC I built earlier this year. All in all, it is a great little PC if you build it right.
