    Motherboard Choosing an ITX AM4 motherboard - help pls)

    If you can live with the single m.2 slot and the lack of ax-WiFi, the asrock b550-itx/ac is definitely the best price/performance board you can get. It’ll also be reasonably future proof (in case you get a new cpu) and as you mentioned, you can replace the WiFi with an Intel 200 or 210.

    Formula 2s from taobao

    Do you know if a regular Enhance 600W PSU would fit as well? What's the difference between the silver wire cables and regular cables?

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    +1 I'd definitely get a Velka 5 if it was inverted so it's easier to have clean cable management!

    I recommend using a virtual machine the next time. You can use the free virtualbox software + a free Windows VM from developer.microsoft.com for this. This way the software is completely sandboxed and your regular operating system/data is not at risk.

    Production RCC-BIG1 | vertical small footprint 13L SFF case | supports 300mm 2.5 Slot GPUs and NH-L12S

    Congrats on getting the first prototype together! I don't want to be overly critical, but I still find the use of space a little inefficient. Have you thought about moving from equally sized GPU / CPU compartments to increasing the size of the CPU one in favour of the GPU one (more like the...

    Production RCC-BIG1 | vertical small footprint 13L SFF case | supports 300mm 2.5 Slot GPUs and NH-L12S

    The bigger the top fan the better! :D 140mm fans seem to be easy to source and move almost twice the air volume than 120mm fans at the same speed. That'll be an interesting thing to test as well -- I remember from tests of the HG Osmi, that fully closed side panels with just bottom-to-top...

    Production RCC-BIG1 | vertical small footprint 13L SFF case | supports 300mm 2.5 Slot GPUs and NH-L12S

    Welcome! Very interesting form factor for the RCC-BIG, took me a while to understand that the ports are at the bottom (was only looking at the renders at first). I like that it shares the Xbox Series X's efficient airflow design. Have you thought about using a single very large fan at the top...

    The “Fully Jarvis” sit/stand desk starts at 30x27 inches (also 32x27 and 42x27). I have the 48x30 version and can highly recommend it.

    yes, see https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/fsp-modular-flex-atx-psu-computex-2019.10924/#post-157933 I hope it's reasonably quiet -- should be a great fit for this case and a medium-spec build.

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    Exciting case and exciting to see progress for flex cases and PSUs. I assume the new FSP Flexguru 300w fits as well? https://www.fspgroupusa.com/ecommerce/flexguru-300w.html

    Great to see progress...if only the z370 ones were available here in Europe. The slim version is exactly what I am looking for. Any more info on availability?
