@TVwazhereare you satisfied with this motherboard. Any observations or suggestions. Btw thanks for your help also and your photo examples
Compared to every other AM5 motherboard ont he market currently, this one felt like the best value for the features I actually wanted and cared abou t(lots of USB's, SPDIF, an EZ-Debug code reader, multiple PCI-E drive locations and a good price.) Personally dont care about RGB on a motherboard or how much armor it has.
For reference, I found this spreadsheet which helped me easily compare feature sets.

I currently have a Corsair 600 c and i plan to upgrade to am5 and the asrock taichi is a good option but it's extended ATX. Could it fit in this case?
It will fit.
"E-ATX" is mainly a garbage marketing term for any board officially longer than ATX (9.6" / 244mm), the only official board size longer than ATX is SSI-CEB (10.5", which is what the AsRock Taichi is), and SSI-EEB (13" / 330mm) which is "True E-ATX" (it has a fourth set of standoff supports) This photo below shows how much room is with the ATX board, 1" / 25mm will not cause an interference fit and barly cause issues with the rubber grommets.
As a Side note, I purchased the B650E Taichi lite, and saved $150 to get rid of all that "Armor" which does nothing. Literally the same board, and is a decent value at $250-280, but terrible at $400.

I do not have that much experience with these programs, does this sound good?
Yes;
AutoCAD does not heavily use a GPU for any of it's processes other than outputting the resulting images (your UI) so the main thing is AutoCAD (SketchUp as well) have a high IPC, high speed single core requirement. More cores dont help unfortunately.
QuoteMulti-Core Processors - SketchUp will run on multiple-processor machines; however, SketchUp will only use one processor. SketchUp doesn't support hyper-threading or multi-threading at this time.

One of my concerns is actually the os update support. I tend to use my phone until it's really worn out. Is missing maybe 2-3years of updates a problem?
I kept my S10+ for four years, and it was technically fine when I traded it in(hence I got a good trade in value for it) and it would have lasted me probably another year or so.
At seven years, I imagine the phone itself will probably either fail or you'll want to upgrade because technology had advanced noticeably by then (I noticed the difference between the S10+ and S23U pretty immediately)

Honestly these days the diff is unnoticeable and sometimes I think I am carrying a camera instead of a phone.
Most people are.
It's a camera that has internet access for social media.

I have the S23U, and looking at the S24 there's nothing I care about that I wish my S23U had, except seven years of software support instead of four. For $300 less, I'd re-buy the S23U again.

Honestly, I saw almost no difference other than the S23U is oversaturating some phots, whereas the S24U is more natural (something I've noticed on my phone and can be annoying at times where I'm trying to get color accurate photos, but it is what it is, i can correct the photos later when I've needed to)

Remember to dust out your PC builds! Especially if they dont have dust filters.
As a side note, the computer has been working for nearly three years now with no issues (except my girlfriend constantly complaining "it cant handle extremely heavily modded sims 4" and that "she needs a new PC")

The TwoTrees SK1 might be the closest at 300x300mm and core-xy ($580): https://www.twotrees3dofficial.com/products/sk1-corexy-3d-printer-twotrees
Sadly this one is a 256mm3 build volume, not 300 (it's basically a Bambu lab p1p with a better screen)

I would prefer, and was recommended to get a CoreXY design by my experienced friend running a Bambu P1S, but I'm open to suggestions.
CoreXY's are harder to come by in this price range, unless you're getting a Tronny, which I've heard mixed things about. They're not "fast" like a K1 or a P1P/X1, but they have a D01 Plus that's Bowden tube for $500 and a V2 direct drive for $600. Or you could get their less expensive X5SA series

The ender 5's dont count as CoreXY, but they still offer cheap large print formatting in at least a stationary bed.

NZXT H5 Flow or Phanteks Eclipse G300A?
Well, the G300A is $40 on newegg right now, vs $90 on newegg.
You can save the $50 and put it towards something else, or spend it on the case aesthetic. Your build, Your choice! -

Wow, that's much nicer than my preconception of goth decorating!
Like the coffee tables booties.
Those are there because Bruce, our Shark branded robot vacuum, couldnt fit under the coffee table (by like 1/2" or 12mm) so i 3D printed those to raise it up just a little bit.

The 5x camera on the S24 ultra is 50Mp, pixel size 0.7µm, F3.4, 115mm eq (real focal length 18.6mm), sensor size 1/2.52 (sony IMX854, 5.75 x 4.32 mm).
The 10x camera on the S23 ultra is 10mp, pixel size 1.12µm, F4.9, 230mm equiv (real focal length 27.2mm), sensor size is 1/3.52 (Sony IMX754, 4.3mm x 3.22mm)
The new S24 ultra at 10x will be 5.75 x 4.32 mm / 2 = 2.8mm x 2.16mm.
So the sensor area is about 2x smaller, 13.8cm2 vs 6cm2. But it will be 50/2/2 = 12.5mpix vs 10mpix on the old sensor.
The new lens is exactly 1 EV brighter, F3.4 vs F4.9....
Me trying to understand all this
