    Yeah I just meant for 200mm front fan airflow, plus all the fan options on top, sides back. But for wood I would grab a System76 Thelio.

      Why the hell would you get that, especially over the Nord? That doesn’t make any sense.

          So American exceptionalism makes you go for the worse product. Really says it all. But you do you.

            I’m not American, but system76 is an opensource company and actually builds a very good products and their own OS. I would choose USA built also because I’m Canadian and reduces chinese components and possible slave labour. Not sure why you care so much about my choice. lol

              It just sounds very weird for non Americans to value “made in US” labels so much. America doesn’t actually have that kind of product reputation, except for maybe fighter jets.

                They don’t have to have a reputation, some people just want to support more locally made or sourced products than relying on China as the worlds factory for too many reasons to list. System76 has been building PoP!OS with good gaming and hardware support, they have also spent a lot of time doing proper airflow analysis, to maximize airflow without over revving the fans, and as somebody who values opensource as well as they have been opensourcing all their hardware designs so if you wanted to take their CAD files you could build your own case , keyboard, etc you could

                  You realize Fractal Design isn’t Chinese, right? If you want to buy locally produced things, you certainly won’t be buying US stuff.
