Bang on, the mini pc crowd is funny.

Power consumption isn't black and white, because you have completely different feature sets.

I agree I wouldn't grab any dell under an X30 at this point and def go with a v4, that being said if you find a good deal on a v3, a v4 upgrade is like $20 for something around a 2680

Just swap to a dell HBA, they are dirt cheap

Screw dell and the X40, the cooling profile makes no sense.

Thanks Dell, I really need my cpus to be at 27c...

Oh you put in a 50w single slot GPU.. let's ramp your fans up to 43%..

Serious question what is this for...
