Very interesting. Thank you. I have been eying this for a while now and have a very similar system, although, I am using a 3600. I honestly don't know if this is hotter or not, but I will most likely use a bigger cooler anyways. My plan is to be able to carry this in a big "Bundeswehr" backpack with my other peripherals and some clothes for a weekend. My friends and I have started to meet with PCs again in our mid 30s and I can now take the train for free due to my job. My old case is small...ish, but too big for the backpack.

Hey there. I know absolutely nothing about this stuff, so please bear with me. I just tried the https://usevia.app/ online version of via and accidentally changed some stuff. I was wondering if there is a way to reset what is in that app. I tried resetting the keyboard itself and deleted my browser history including cookies etc over the last few hours. However, everytime I load up the via app again, it just shows the "Hue+" on all those keys. I also tried a different browser so...I guess something was changed, but what? I never saved anything. Any idea? Everything is still working, but I feel like this will cause some confusion in the future....maybe...

I have a Noctua NH-U12 in that case, which is a tight fit, but it works. You just have to remove the side bracket that is meant for extra fans/rad/storage. And please get an itx motherboard in this case. The IM1 supports mATX, but it might prevent you from installing fans in the bottom or plugging some stuff into the bottom of your board. For me, it was the audio connector that wouldn't fit with fans in the bottom. I do recommend the Sama/Intertek IM1 though. It is quite cheap, easy to build in and sturdy on the outside.

I have an Intertek IM1 Pocket. It is smaller than your suggested case and supports about the same stuff. You can check my signature to see what I have in the case. Only thing to mention is that it is technically an mATX case, but using such a motherboard prevents the mounting of fans at the bottom when using all connectors down there (like audio).

I doubt they will ever be that nice to us. To be honest, I couldn't care less about Demon's Souls, but Bloodborne woud be pretty great. And I just paid 8 bucks for a used copy and got a used PS4 just for that. After my playthrough, I will just give it back.

Finally.

A BigBig Won 100pro to connect my dualsense to any console I like. This is actually very handy to have and was cheaper (17€) than buying a new ps4 controller (50€), since I already had the dualsense. Got a used ps4 to finally play Bloodborne, but it came without a controller.

I got it connected to some pretty good ELAC speakers and just got done watching tv for an hour and it is actually pretty darn nice.

I got myself a tiny amp for the living room to hide it in our small media console. Is it the greatest sound ever? No. Does it sound pretty good, especially for 46bucks? Very much so. My old and large amp from the 90s still has more detail and will remain as my home theater amp in my man cave, but the misses wants less stuff in our living room and this totally works. Bluetooth works really well, sound is quite good actually and despite it only providing roughly 50watts to each speaker due to the power supply being too weak it gets loud enough for my taste. Fosi kinda (really only kinda) screws its customers here, however, it does say so on the product page on amazon so I guess that is ok, especially considering the price. You do have to read through that though and I didn't. I only checked the actual specs of the AMP itself. Oh well, I will keep it in this configuration for now, since that is more than enough to watch some tv and listen to a bit of music. All in all, can absolutely recommend for about 50€. Get yourself some decent speakers for another 50 (people really throw old speakers out for cheap, despite amazing quality )and you have pretty great audio.
