What microphone is this? Is it a general purpose one, or one that's fully calibrated to test speakers etc?

I finally bought a Metalfish T40 and downsized my LAN rig by about 50% from the previous Sliger S610.
It has a handle, so qualifies for LAN duty and isn't bad at all.
This is my 3rd sub 10L build, having not liked the original tiny 4.5L Flex ATX powered PC with a GTX 1050Ti and moved on to the S610 from the lovely Dan A4 which was great with a 3 fan GTX 1080.
Being able to use an existing SFX-L power supply is great, and all I need now is more GPU horsepower...
The temporary GTX 1650 Aero isn't bad, but the Asus RTX 2060 Phoenix looks a pretty good upgrade for 1080P duty.

Sounds like you need a single-fan 3060 to me
That sounds good!
If I had the budget I'd go for the Zotac RTX 4060 Solo, which would do 1440P ok

Are you in the USA? I have a 2070 Mini OC sitting on a shelf that could use a new home
First couple of model cars arrived today
Made me realise I accidentally ordered BttF3 instead of BttF but who cares I have a mini time-travelling DeLorean anyway haha

Before the Big Dumb Trade War tariffs v2 hit...Pawpaw got a new Hall effect Keeb and DAC:

If you've seen reviews of the Element IV DAC...it is most certainly the knobbiest knob to ever knob LOL.

We’ve reimagined our flagship amp+DAC to create a listening experience you will notice and appreciate. Element IV operates on our third-generation XMOS hardware and firmware, blissfully integrated with our latest discrete optical encoder. You’ll hear perfect channel balance down to the black...

I was very tempted to get an Element IV with the transparent knob. They have excellent reviews. You can improve it further by getting a JDS Labs Synapse (USB Isolator).

Love the NuPhy Keyboard too. I'm using the Air75 v2 myself with the Cowberry switches.

Nice! on the NuPhy Air75 HE.
How is it treating you so far? Was looking at that, but decided on a MonsGeek Fun60 Ultra instead.
Take note that they have different layout, so it goes back to what you prefer.
That said, assuming you can live with either layout, personally I'm leaning toward the Fun60 Ultra. Reason being, it's compatible with both 5-pins mechanical and certain magnetic switches.
Swapped out the keycaps of the fun60 ultra to blanks.
Was previously using a 60% keyboard previously too, but moved back the Logitech TKL, then bought the Keychron Ortho.
Did not get used to the orthopedic key layout at all. Felt weird to me.
I didn't bother with the Synapse, yet...My PC and Mac mini are isolated behind a KVM, and the PC is connected via optical cables (to get the heat and noise away, although in this case it is a nice air-gap for electrical isolation too).
The keycaps for whatever reason are an adjustment. My typing accuracy went way down initially. That said, for my setup the low-profileness is way easier for ergonomics, while still having basically the same switch throw as a normal Cherry switch (3.5mm vs 4mm). The Fun60 looks like a great deal for what it is!
