Or you could just save your money and put a normal PC in another room where you can't hear the fans.

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

Literally just build a normal PC but use one of these big hear sinks instead of a fan: https://graphicscardhub.com/passive-cpu-cooler/

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

This is exactly what I was going to say

You can get fiber optic extenders for USB, video, networking. They can be spendy, like $1,000, but it's a one-time purchase. A lot cheaper than this computer

Fanless PC cases cost about $400.

Or just go with a fanless one, perhaps an ARM based or even a PC. 🤷‍♂️
