Hardware refresh time (once every two years @StackOverflow)!
Holy cow, heat sinks got big...
CPU & RAM fitted...

I had to RMA the case (I mistakenly picked the wrong form factor) and SSD hasn’t turned up yet. But, what the hell let’s add the GPU and plug it all in to see if it’ll power on...
No case, so no power button, what to do?! Easy! Grab a screwdriver, locate the front panel jumpers and place the screwdriver across the +ve/-be power switch pins. It’s alive!
For those following along, this is all based upon Nick’s 2019 desktop build: nickcraver.com/desktop-build/
Case arrived, having some fun squeezing everything inside! Some of the cables are a little tight, but it works. Still no SSD, looks like tomorrow now.
