Is this really the intelligence level of the sort of people paid to build pcs?

Because the PSU is on the wrong side suffocating airflow for CPU. Fine for a NAS I guess like the Q25.
Levi Jenkins
The fact that it's a standardised measurement.
It was explained earlier you stupid ignoramus. And literally looking at any ITX motherboard would tell you this.
Jonathan Foster
I don't think you know what arbitrary means.
Jayden Baker
By all means, enlighten me. Explain why the measurement of 6.7" squared for ITX is arbitrary.

It's stupid easy to dremel out a hole and affix some mesh or a fan grill.

Remember that people on Jow Forums are retards and unable to customise anything beyond what they can buy on Amazon or wherever.
A metal case is always to prefer when modding anything, as plastic obviously sucks when not in its originally moulded condition.

It's literally the same layout as the Lazer3D though, just standing upright.

Because 6.7 is an arbitrary number you actual ignoramus. It may be a good number for the standard to have settled on, it's still arbitrary. 8 bits is an arbitrary number of bits to call a byte. It may have been a good choice, that doesn't mean it wasn't arbitrary.

>Because 6.7 is an arbitrary number
Based on the smallest possible pinout on an existing bolt pattern and componentry form? I don't really see how a particular measurement based around existing constraints could be considered arbitrary, but please, hit me with some other random semantic reasoning as to why you're in the extreme end of the spectrum.
