I will constantly update this post as parts arrive. Photos:
- Revoccases RCC Mid1 from https://revoccases.com/work/rcc-mid1/ arrived, amazingly compact.
- Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming ITX/TB3 from Newegg Canada. Arrived. The box is surprisingly thick.
- Ryzen 7 3700X. I wanted a 3300X originally but it's not available at sane prices and I scored a 3700X for 260 USD inc global shipping to Canada.
- WD 750 SSD. Ordered from Newegg Canada. Arrived.
- 2 x 16GB RAM. Timetec 3600 from Amazon. Arrived.
- 2 x Silverstone AP-183 fans from Amazon. Arrived.. What have I done. Each of these fans weigh close to a pound and are a litre in volume. The photo has a CD for scale.
- Thermalright HR-02 from eBay. This cooler alone is basically as big in volume and weight as those two fans together. Normal people would've just bought a Dark Rock Pro 4 and called it a day but not me. I even have a t-shirt saying "I am not weird, I am limited edition."
- An ancient NVS 295 card to boot the system (eBay). The real video card is a https://www.galax.com/en/galax-snpr-external-graphics.html which I already own. It's a very SFF eGPU.
- Dell DA-2 from eBay, arrived, another of those "OMG what am I doing this is huge".
- PicoPSU 160 XT from eBay.
- Athena PCI6EPS428 from eBay. Based on information and belief https://egpu.io/forums/psu-cables/us3-dell-da-2-pcie-splitter/ I hope to utilize the PicoPSU 4 pin square input directly.
- Quad M.2 holder https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...ards-supporting-bifurcation.13995/post-213225 already ordered. Low profile , of course, I don't want it to obstruct too much of my precious airflow
- ADT R42SL riser, already ordered
- Three or four Optane modules depending on whether I need or don't need that NVS 295. Not yet ordered.
