[2026-09-04 Fri] Figuring what to do with this machine

I've been using this as a test bench, but I want to package it up and make something a bit easier to work with.

What I've already got to add to it:

  • Cooler Master Elite 110 case
  • Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO tower heatsink

What I want:

  • more CPU: i7-8700 or i7-9700 (limited to 65W TDP by 100W supply)
  • 32GB DDR4-2666 sodimm kit
  • NVMe SSD
  • Mini-PCIe USB 3.0 controller (for front panel USB)

I'd actually like a Silverstone SG13 case, but the Elite 110 ticks most of the boxes, and is only a little bulky.

Elite 110 mods needed:

  • Replace PSU mount with a flat plate, 80mm fan mount, and maybe some vents
  • Check state of current fan, replace with 140mm?
  • Maybe leave the top HDD mount out for easier access
