Just wanted to say thank you for including the power supply details in the title!
Likewise!! That needs to be mandatory for PC posts on SD.

FYI,
I've received this PC two days ago and let it run nonstop. The PC doesn't get hot at all. The only upgrade I did was added an additional 16GB of RAM.
I am going to return the CPU cooler and additional fan. Don't need them. I don't play game, BTW.
Some people asked if the PC have additional SATA cable, I saw two spare SATA cables.
What slots does it have to add another HD or SSD? What would y'all recommend?
Yes, there are two available "cages" that will accept either 2.5 or 3.5 drives. SATA data and power cables are provided for each. If you don't already have one, a decent sized SSD would be best, and only take about 2 minutes to install. Prime Day(s) coming up for SSD deals!
I had one SSD (2.5) and big 2TB Barracuda 7200 rpm (3.5) from my old computer I just moved those over. Everything needed was already there.
The 1660 "Super" it shipped with is 6 pin. My existing 1660 Super is 8 pin. From a mining perspective, the 8 pin runs about 4 MH/S faster. 6 pin crashes with anything but the most minor of overclocks. This would be a good PC to part out - power supply is proprietary though

I am trying to sell the graphic card on FB marketplace band no one interested. Listed for 500. Saw people listed on eBay for 600
With mining profits down, alot of the smaller power cards arent worth buying. Kinda hard to even out the cost if it mines $2-3 a day
