I've got one of those Minisforum UM790 Pro Ryzen mini PCs and I loved it for the first 8 months -- very fast, worked well -- and then the fan started making noises. Took it apart, tightened things up and cleaned it, and the fix lasted a few days before it started being noisy again.
But the problem is.. custom non-replaceable parts. I realistically don't see a way I'm going to be able to fix the problem so I have to live with the noise. So basically another disposable consumer appliance. But it wasn't cheap.
This is frankly the problem I see with these little things. They're just too custom and the brands not mainstream, with no retail supply chain into Europe or North America to support the product.
