Great PC for bitcoin mining and 4K videos

I bought this PC because I started mining bitcoins. I'm by no means an avid gamer, but this PC more than did the job. This is the first Windows PC I've ever run with an NVMe SSD (I've used many SATA-based SSDs over the years) and it's SOOOOOOO FAST! I've never seen Windows boot up so fast and be so incredibly responsive. The 1660 Super card is great for mining Bitcoin and Ethereum. I installed the Apple TV app and streamed 4K movies while mining Ethereum. Open Hardware Monitor showed the GPU was tied to the mining app, but streaming was smooth. Case fans are very quiet and very colorful. My son loved it and we bought him one for his birthday next month (shhh don't tell him it's a surprise!). I liked this machine so much I bought two more (plus my son) so I have four of these rigs in total. I wish I could give four and a half stars. A few questions. The first problem was with my son's computer. Since it's his birthday at the end of April I decided to start the car just to set it up, make sure everything works etc. I've noticed little "rattling" rattles. I moved the box and found about a dozen small pieces of glass - the same color as the glass side of the box! My guess is that when the machine was built the first glass cover broke and whoever assembled it cleaned it as best they could but left some parts behind. OK, I can live with that. I deleted the remaining shards and the PC passed a flawless test. Now he's hiding in the box again in anticipation of his birthday. The second problem was on the fourth PC. The power supply (power pack) went out in less than a week. But that wasn't the main problem. I opened a technical support ticket and it's been a few days and there's no confirmation other than an auto reply that the ticket was created. Despite the shortcomings, I still give it a solid 4./5 stars. Nice machine, mines bitcoins like a champ, and runs better on Windows than any other machine I've seen. In general I am very happy. If we fix the power issue I'll check this out and up the rating to 5/5!
