And regardless, why bother building with a fancy box with this when the CPUs and GPUs available for the mini-ITX are going to be 10,000 times slower than the M1 and 100,000 time slower than the M1 Max?
Not going to throw money on something and build a computer that is already going to be behind the state of the art.
Given that Linux is coming to Apple Silicon machines, it is already going to blow whatever available parts you build with this mini-ITX out of the pacific ocean.

The benchmarks I can find seem to put M1 family at maybe 2-3 times faster than x86. Except for the benchmarks that are slower, of course. The new versions might be even better, but they're not that much better.
Totally agree, 100% team Apple. In the immortal words of Apple PR: "what's a computer?" Like its 2021, do you really want to associate with people that call themselves the "PC m*ster r*ce"? Ummm gross, no, f*scist vibes, im out, haha. Also, I've heard these so called gaming "rigs" (do they burn diesel... like what) use a TON of electricity... so much so that California outlawed them (nice!). If you're looking for a superior fanless youtube cat video machine (so cute), I'd highly recommend the newest iPad over the Mac. Apple has put a lot of blood (ew), sweat, and tears into ensuring this is the thinnest (NON-computing hehe) experience that you can possibly have, so send your support in hard earned $$$. I mean even if you don't have those (America is an oppressive state after all), Apple offers an inclusive payment plan. A mortgage for your computer! They really thought of it all!
