I just finished the upgrade from my old dell optiplex to a SER7 Bee-Link, Ryzen 7840. It's a fraction of the weight, I put it on the backside of one of my monitors(3) and it's totally silent and faster than expected even better video. It does have a fan as I felt a small breeze coming from it, can't hear it though. The old dell was blasting a hurricane quite often, helped to keep me awake. I suspect the power-savings on the electric bill will pay for this upgrade in a few months. Now I can even clear-off the desk I haven't seen in years.
