I feel like I could build a nearly silent PC for 1/10th the price and serve a lot more than just audio from it, and still be comfortable with keeping it in the room with me
Noctua literally has a consumer grade fanless heatsink that is allegedly just as good as advertised for like 100 bucks. Find a quiet PSU and you're basically done. Unless it needs a GPU which could be more problematic
Literally just build a normal PC but use one of these big hear sinks instead of a fan: https://graphicscardhub.com/passive-cpu-cooler/
