When Mark Newby discussed his new PC with Steve and Marcel, he was clear about the graphics requirement: multiple displays mattered; games did not. The specification therefore paired a modest dedicated graphics card with four HDMI outputs with a compact, capable office PC. The black-and-wood Jonsbo case gave it a more considered place on a desk.

Start with the displays, not the lights
Mark chose the option with a new graphics card, dual-tower cooler and activated Windows 11. His instruction was straightforward: the graphics card needed to support multiple displays, and he did not intend to play games on the PC. That made an ASUS GT 730 with four HDMI outputs a fit for this particular brief. Four outputs describe the connection capability; the project record does not establish that Mark used four monitors at once.
The accepted revised quote specified an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 500 GB NVMe SSD. Mark also wanted Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so the motherboard choice became an MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI. After one quoted processor became unavailable, Marcel revised the specification before Mark approved it and the parts were ordered.

This records the agreed build specification, not a current offer. Component availability and suitability are checked afresh for each new PC.
A compact case with an unusual finish
The Jonsbo V12 combines a dark glass side and top with a mesh front and a wood-tone lower panel. Two illuminated front fans make the machine distinctive, but the practical decisions remained the display connections, wireless connectivity, cooling and storage. Mark's photographs show the assembled PC on the workbench while Marcel configured and tested it.
On 20 February, Marcel told Mark the machine had been built and was being configured and tested. Mark replied that it looked “very cool”, and they arranged collection for the following morning. This is a real customer build with a specific work-focused brief, rather than an Elements prebuilt model or a gaming performance claim.
