Literally, just step back and look at history.

They probably should have paralleled that by using "passengers", then.
drop back and punt with my old i5-4590 tower
This one. It's old, but with RAM and a GPU you'll be able to handle streaming/transcoding.
The problem with Dell/HP/Lenovo etc. PCs, especially smaller form factors, is that they're non-standard, as you found. And not just the motherboard mounts, but also the power supply connectors, and often other stuff too. And any feature found on a typical board, but not used in that particular model, will be missing, like multiple SATA ports, again as you found.
You could probably get a newer desktop for not much money, too.
Yeah but it'd be fucking insane to build a state highway to each and every destination in every hamlet, just like it would be for rail.
And it's not just cost of initial construction, it's also cost of maintenance. If the ground shifts slightly under the road, it's a bump. If it shifts under a railway, it's a derailment for the first train that finds it and a couple million dollars in recovery and repair, plus the downtime while that section is out of service. And that doesn't even start to account for overhead like signal operation, whereas on a road you just use a stop sign.
I like trains more than the next guy, but you absolutely cannot just replace every road with a railway.
Compared to building and maintaining a railway, yes, by orders of magnitude.
It's absurd to suggest running a railway to every warehouse in East Bumfuck, Missouri.
A lot. Most of them do a lot of basic maintenance and break-fix work themselves.
Hopefully any doctor who does this gets their accreditation or certification suspended. (I think the licenses are a state operation, so that's not going to happen.)
For companies like Temu and Shein, good. Their manufacture, sale, and shipping of garbage products is a net negative in the world.
And "garbage products" isn't my opinion. A lot of them, you order, and when you get it, say "wtf is this" and throw it out because it's not what you expected or needed. I'm sure you've seen the "wish.com version" memes.
Why not "how the crisis could be resolved peacefully"?
