going for mATX or mITX formfactor.

as small as possible while still easy to build in. (cooler master elite 110 is indeed an option, but finding power supplies for it.... ehh...)

 

non flashy, and under 40 bucks. also, not much expansion needed, we'll most likely be using intel graphics for a long time before i throw in a spare little single slot card.

i need a case, (anything) and a semi/fully modular PSU that isnt too long if we're going with elite 110.

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.

also, if it is extremely compact, so far that airflow gets restricted... some quick thaughts on how to setup the airflow would be helpful too.

Elite 110 would be the smallest I would go to be honest.

 

I've built in the Cubitek Mini Center (really small) and it was an absolute pain, it took 30 minutes to plug in the front panel headers properly and mount the PSU

Well you could get a NUC or the like if it's not going to be an invested computer? They're really small. :D

Just throwing this out there. When it comes to cooling, those compact Noctua coolers with 92mm fans are really good.
