I'm glad to report that the computer is now complete (as complete as I'm going for, anyway - could always try to squeeze an AIO cooler in, upgrade the RAM, more cooling, etc.). It's quiet and unassuming on my desk and even under full load it remains whisper quiet, better than being a literal hair dryer.
Noctua fan back in but you can't tell (for the better - brown and beige, no).
Not much else to say or show since the other posts show the build and internals, so here's some screenshots and benchmark results!
Geekbench 6 results. Just short of expectations for this CPU.UserBenchmark results. The test didn't complete properly but you can still get the idea (I'm not going into the queue again by shooting spaceships to try and complete the benchmark)6 minutes of AIDA64 doing CPU/FPU/Cache/RAM, it drops off turbo very quickly but it's what I would expect from a Dell SFF with zero control over voltages, clocks, and likely a very conservative PL1/PL2 configuration
