It is a large case, with multiple cooling fans. I bought the parts, and built it myself to do run a few very expensive programs to do our aerial photography and mapping projects.
I just bought a "gaming" machine which I'll use for drafting.

i9-12900K with liquid cooling
RTX-3080
64GB RAM
2 TB SSD
8 TB Harddisk

I run 2 monitors, one 32" standard and one 27" in portrait for documents.

I certainly don't need more than 64GB of RAM at this time. I think this MB can go to 128.

Normally, I'd build my own but the components were hard to find and the price of the assembled and warrantied machine was ~$100 more. Hard to pass up.

My last drafting machine lasted 7 years.
