The "cheapest option"?! That PC costs EIGHTEEN HUNDRED US DOLLARS. And it's unusable. Can't pass basic tests. How the hell are you defending this?

I mean it's great for you that you got a good deal on a graphics card (assuming Dell's implementation of the 3080 is good, like its 3090, and not absolute garbage, like its 3060). But you had to rebuild the whole thing in a different company's case with an actual cooling strategy in order to make it viable? The point of a prebuilt is that this ships to end users who don't have that knowledge or capability or the desire to do it and just... run the system.
