Well, this has made me slightly more satisfied about the hassle of having bought all the parts and built it myself to minimise volume while reusing old bits. Even though it took about 2 months in small doses, and I still need to return RAM, having found out the hard way there is now 'AMD' RAM that doesn't really work on Intel.

Yup, good identification! Although that's just the build that Scan were offering. I didn't get to change the case.
It's more to do with the fact that there are no separate SSDs, HDDs or CD/DVDs anywhere or a separate GPU card.
I had thought of getting a similar spec in an Intel NUC type machine but a 16 core CPU in a small-form-factor PC can have cooling problems when pushed for long periods.
