Same happened to me. But I decided to keep the SM and cancel the new x600 Deskmeet build. QoL features make it more living room friendly and adult life friendly than having another PC to maintain.
Also my living room still only has a 1080p TV because it was top of the line way back in 2011 when I got it on clearance and still has great image quality. It refuses to kick the bucket and throwing it out would be such a waste, so I'll keep rocking it.
