My Noctua CPU cooler is huge and harfly fits into the case.
Instead of locking the case with the designed mechanism, I use magnets to keep the cover in place.

Sadly the cooler also blocks RAM slots 3 and 4, therefore I have my RAM modules in slots 1 and 2 and can't use dual channel. Haven't found low profile RAM modules yet with speeds fitting a RyZen 3900x.

I connected my internal USB3 connector to a switch, so on the front I have 2 full speec USB 3.0 and 8 USB3 ports on the switch.

Monitor and speakers are powered by a master / slave power plug. It's On/Off state is set through a USB connector. So the BIOS option has to be set to extreme power saving mode. Otherwise the USB ports would still get power and the monitor would stay active. But I would have done that either way, I never charge anything on the PC. On top of my case there is a speedlink competition pro joystick, the best option to play Amiga games these days.
Hehe, same here. But mine was a replaced technical designer desk (it had a few scratches). It has a solid wooden plate, the bottom is made of heavy metal with a crank to change the height. That baby served me well for decades now.
