Does the newer case design result in better thermo / airflow vs. the other FP deal?

Depends on your ram assignment per VM * number of vms. 64 would be minimum imo

No to Hell, failTel, and ngreedia. If I wanted to crash and burn even more I'd get it and install Windows ME.

I wonder if that 240 aio will be enough for the 14900. Im using a 360 on my 13900 and it still reaches 80 on default m/b settings (lower temps when underclocked of course).

Such an odd place to vent about such non-relevant complaints lol. This is a good machine with good components overall. My guess is no therapist Stick Out Tongue

Edited "add" to "odd"

Yes. GN Broke it down and it was significantly better than even the "Improved" aurora 15 bc they got rid of the ridiculous plastic shroud that messed up the thermals so bad.

Stability in games, power draw, and risk of fire are generally relevant when buying a pre-built or building a custom rig. Do more research.
Not necessary. That's why people are down voting you. Your not referring to a niche prebuilt here... You are referring to a major manufacturer. Dell, Intel and Nvidia make great products. So does AMD. Microsoft also has a ton of success and efficacy. Yes ME was terrible lol. As many old instances of other OS types have been. You don't feel or see it as much because Microsoft held, and holds majority. Anyways, all of your gripes are not really appropriate here and that's what people were conveying with their jokes/jabs. Good luck to you though. Seriously, I encourage everyone, find a good therapist.

Edit* I should also say, I hate Dell lol. But this is a pretty good unit Smilie and their major problems, still apply to a minority. It's just shitty to use proprietary psu, mobo, poorly outsourced support etc.

Nice joke from 2005. But I digress: Looks like I'll have to explain my comment to at least 8 people. Dell is a subpar tech company with horrible customer service, Intel's 13th and 14th gen i9 processors are not stable, Nvidia is greedy as hell and their video cards have the power draw of a medium town, and I think most of us have experienced a bad Windows release.
Yeah no.. I think we all understood that was your opinion and what you are referring too lol.
