Of course, as correctly highlighted by some in this thread, the proprietary nature of the motherboard and power supply is likely irrelevant for most users seeking a sealed productivity box that could likely serve the target user well for years. Intel i-series 4-Core CPUs have proven to be solid long term productivity systems. Past performance is no indicator of future results, but other than a possible RAM upgrade in the future there's very little beyond underlying reliability that should worry the appropriate user about this PC for at least the life cycle of Windows 11 (and consider that when Windows 10 support closes in 2025 it will have lasted a decade).
Although the motherboard form factor is proprietary (with the front USB ports being integrated onto the motherboard), you could likely move this system into a cheap, roomier case if, for example, you wanted to expand storage (setting up a small server, for example). I've attached an image of a comparable Acer motherboard for visual reference.
Even as a sealed box these Acer small form factor deals have been about the most compelling price/performance desktop deals in some time.
Good luck!

Edit: nvm just noticed it's low profile PC. You'll need a dremel cutting tool to cut parts of the case and a new PSU to drop in that 3090. Not ez
