DeskMini X600 random crashes

   Actually the X600M-STX page says "This model may not be sold worldwide". And so it is, none of the destributors in my region sell it. Doesn't matter much, one could buy a DeskMini and throw away the case.

But another problem is all Mini-STX enclosures available seem to have the same "max fan height 40mm" restriction.

I also haven't found confirmation that a full-size CPU fan has enough space on the motherboard around the CPU. The X600M-STX doesn't have any fan compatibility notes, the DeskMini only lists two low-profile fans.

A serious Maker certainly can do everything, but there is no option for the normal user whose tool chest only contains a few screwdrivers. For me it's too many hurdles to try, but I hope some Asrock product manager takes note of the wishes of the customers ;-)
