I wanted to build a decently powerful server for all my self-hosted staff for a long time, but after Russo-Ukrainian had been started priorities obviously shifted, so I put this idea on hold.
Since then, I moved to the Serbia, but I am not sure if I will stay here for years, so both main PC and server should be as compact as it’s possible and also as powerful.
Main desktop PC
I built my new desktop PC in May, and I am still impressed! Couldn’t imagine that 10L case could hold so much power.

I can even put it inside Kanken 2.0:
