Made some progress today with the L5 build - motherboard, DC-ATX power and case fans are in place.

RAM is on the way, got a cheap 2 x 16GB Gskill Ripjaws V 3200 CL16 kit and AC-DC brick is also on the way, got the recommended 192W ones from mini-box. And will recycle a Samsung OEM M.2 NVME gen3 drive from an old build. A couple of things still missing:

  • Cooler: really wanted a Noctua L12S but it can only accommodate LPX RAM with the fan below the heatsink, Scythe Big Shuriken 3 it is going to be
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G seems to be the sweetspot right now
  • GPU (maybe): do I really need a GTX 1650 LP? Or more accurately, should I splurge on one LOL

Without a GPU the bottom of the case is really empty, maybe I can just cram the brick in and make it brickless?
