The airflow in the case is pretty great for something with a solid front - thermally there isn't much to criticize about the steam machine. that it ran for 20 minutes and then died with an GPU post error would make me think less about a direct chip failure and more about a resistor or capacitor having a contact issue, prompted by vibrations from the fan and the previous transport, maybe even outright transport damage escalating after a short runtime.
