Watching this Level 1 Techs video and Wendell is talking about how the launch of the newest Threadripper chips has started to change the computing industry a bit due to it really exposing a lot of inefficiencies in code that doesn't take advantage of the large amount of parallelization that can be offered now. One thing he showed was how compiling code with linux's Make doesn't show drastic improvements and how people are trying to patch it so that it does: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Pipe-Parallel-Job-Opt
I just think this kind of stuff goes a little under the radar a bit but is really neat. It seems that a lot of work is needing to be done, in general, with processes that access the disk a lot. Between the nvme drives and these massive thread count cpu's, neither piece of hardware is being utilized as well as they can be in those tasks.

CAD is still almost entirely single threaded and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
I've had to explain countless times why somebody's brand new computer isn't much faster than their 5 year old one.. and by explain i mean defend my hardware choices.

Gotta state your budget. How much RAM you have now?
Also, are you wanting to game on it? If so, at what resolution and framerate? 1080p, 1440p, and 4k are the modern resolutions and standard refresh rates are 60, 120, 144, 240+.

You’ve come to the right place, hun x
Why wouldn't you make your SFF case 2-5mm taller/wider to properly accommodate standard fittings and radiator + fans combos with no clearance issues. Though I guess it's part of the SFF game and kind of inevitable, when everything is being pushed to the limit.
Still, many of these SFF cases seem to get away with a lot of questionable design choices due to a bit of form factor bias from the reviewers.

I agree, honestly. The T1 from what I read is pretty absurdly designed with a single 240mm radiator in mind, an Alphacool 240mmx25mm with the intent that a user can run either a single 120mmx25mm fan on it or a a 25mm and a 15mm fan.
And as far as I’m aware, that single rad is only available by buying the LT240 AIO.
There’s parts of the design that are good. Full mesh panels on both sides, inverted layout, and the case being adjustable for 2 or 3 slot GPUs.
Still it seems the uses are so incredibly niche (and SFF cases are already niche) given there’s a lot of sandwich layout cases available already that fill the gap and arguably do it better.
By Smokey Go To PostGotta state your budget. How much RAM you have now?
I'm using a 20-inch 10 year old iMac and a 5 year old iMac merged together via WiFi - anything would be an upgrade as far as RAM lol. I don't game on a PC. But I do have a lot of tabs and browsers open, with email client running, iTunes running in the background, etc. I also would like something that'll be able to easily handle video editing too. I just want something future proof for at least 5 years. I hate getting new hardware these days, just because I hate transferring out files and such.

Hopefully my reply above answers that. It'd be fun to play COD on a PC instead of my PS4. But not an absolute necessity. Budget would be around $1500?

I did a lot of editing, but the above should be a good starting point. Could always downgrade the monitor and the GPU a bit to get a better or better looking case, CPU, etc.

Are the looks of the computer at all of importance to you?
So I've got an option, but I'm not sure if you want the monitor included in the $1500 budget so this is an example of what you could go with not including that. Going by your listed uses, I'm assuming storage is going to be fairly important, as is RAM and compute power. Giving you're coming from a Mac I'm assuming you may like to have something that fits in with that overall design aesthetic.
So with all that in mind, my initial draft is this:
Reasons for each part, 8 core/16 thread CPU for video editing now and into the future.
Decent CPU cooler to keep noise down.
It's just a motherboard, one of the best B450 ITX boards depending on the features you're after.
32Gb of DDR4 because you want dat RAM, breh. I'd say 16Gb is absolutely fine right now but I don't know how heavy your editing is on RAM. Might be better to go overboard on this to avoid upgrading later on.
Again, keeping with the the idea you won't want to upgrade any time soon, I went with a 2TB SSD. I was torn between going with a 1TB NVMe and a 1TB SATA SSD, the difference is only $10~ between consolidating storage into one drive vs two 1TB drives.
2060KO, specifically the KO model as it it punches well above it's weight in compute workloads. So if you use CUDA acceleration or anything like that, you could/should benefit from this. Also it's a 2060, it'll play games very well (not as well as the 5700XT), but it should last for a fair few years, and much longer if you're okay with playing at lowered settings in the years to come.
Went with the TU150 because it's just a nice plain silver case. Lian Li make quality cases, the closest in many ways to a Mac-like case you can get for a PC.
PSU is only 550W, but it's absolutely more than enough for the build.

One of my nephews (Turned 11 in Dec) is getting into PC gaming, took him to Microcenter the other day and it's what I'd imagine would happen if you took me to a Lambo dealership. I built the PC he currently games on for his father 8 years ago and I told him I'd buy him a new one (parts) for his birthday, but between now and his birthday he'll have to watch tutorials and read how to put the PC together himself and show his little brother how when he gets the parts. The 3000 series gpus are coming out this summer right? Gonna start buying some small parts now though.

These are amazing builds and well within budget. I've built two PCs in the past when I was a teen...and I feel like those days are behind me LOL. I just don't have the time for it anymore. Aesthetics of the case don't matter much, since it'll be sitting on the floor under my desk anyway.
Also, I'll need 2 monitors. So I'd probably go for something like a pair of 22s. Any companies out there that assemble ordered PCs that aren't called Dell?
hey whats wrong with Dell
What application are you using for video editing?
Why 22'' monitors? 24'' monitors are basically the bare minimum in price and larger ones are really not very much more..

Is Dell's selection of products diverse enough these days?
Not sure about what video software I'd use. This is something new I'd like to dabble with.
22" because my 2 iMacs are 20s. And already fairly large enough, I feel like 2 24s in my face would be overkill.
So there are a lot of System Integrators (computer builders) around, at $1500 you might want to step up from the lower end ones like ibuypower and cyberpower, but that's not enough for one of the "white glove" or boutique ones like Puget Systems.
Maybe look at Maingear? I don't know if any of us have much experience other than just hearing things offhand.
How opposed are you to doing something basic like adding RAM? Larger system sellers like HP and Dell often overcharge for it pretty bad, and you could probably save $100+ by adding some yourself if wanting to do 32GB (which you probably do).

Same for SSDs too. Price gouge the fuck out of them.
Zabooooo, what's the name of that company with the awesome monitor arms that Amazon basically made stripped down versions of? I am looking into monitor arms right now and thinking about sticking with a vertical stack. If I go horizontal, well, my monitors are already different from each other with only one seeing main use and I would also need to buy some speaker stands.
Making holes in the wall is not an option, unfortunately.

Oh yeah, adding RAM and other small things like swapping out a fairly basic component is not a problem for me. I use to do it all the time.

My NCase motherboard cut out lines up perfectly to swap out an M.2 on the back. The DAN case I had before this required removal of the PSU and motherboard entirely to access the back of the board.
Just built a PC on Maingear. It's at $1780 using the same or very similar components as Vapes' build.
It truly feels like there's no off the shelf monitor arm that's right a dual monitor set up. I need to get on Zabo's level.
Tried side by side, tried side by side with one in portrait. Now trying stacked. This feels a lot more ergonomic with the right amount of tilt, but it's alot harder now to swing my 240hz in front/over the the 4K monitor.
Thinking of getting two 60cm or 80cm poles, attaching one monitor to each of them in a stacked layout and getting a gas assisted arm for the 240hz so it's more easily moved up and down.

Stacked (or rather dual monitor) doesn't work for me. Admittedly I (still) haven't put any real effort into trying to incorporate it into my daily flow, but a second monitor just feels superfluous when you already have an ultrawide and 95% of your activities behind the screen amount to web browsing and gaming.
It's great for displaying OctoPrint and monitoring when I'm 3D printing, but that is pretty much the only instance in which I thought 'okay, this is useful, I could get used to this'. It doesn't bother me or anything, especially since having both monitor wall mounted on articulating arms makes pulling the 240hz screen in front of the ultrawide as effortless a task as you can imagine, but yeah.
As I've said before, the moment they release an ultrawide monitor I deem good enough for competitive gaming and my finances allow for it, I'm out.

I can respect that stance. Apart from using it for certain games, the only thing I display on my second monitor is YT/Netflix.
Happy otherwise to use a 4K monitor with split windows for browsing and watching multiple things at once. Likely be happy to do that on an UW too.

70-80g is the sweet spot, eh? My current mouse is like 99g and I do wish it was a tad lighter, but I also use a palm-grip so I'm not sure how much lighter it could get while still being comfortable to hold. I imagine stripping out all the rgb would save 5-10g...

I'd say shape is as important as weight. If that Kenesis feels right in your hand, and your feels good with it, no real need to change beyond wanting to try something else.
Though it does seem like there's a lot more ergo mice available nowadays, even lightweight ergo mice. Still trying to decide on one for myself too.
Model D and Xtrfy M4 come to mind, as well as the original G Wolves Skoll.
Yeah, I'm probably not going to get a different mouse unless I can try it first or it comes from a company I trust that is known for ergonomic designs.
I wish their were some options in the UK for trying PC products before buying. I've seen the videos of Microcentre, and the different events in the US and I'm green with envy tbh.

Awesome. 240GB for SSD is plenty for me. About 50GB will be music. And the rest *shrug*? I also do have a spare external SSD.
After seeing that post from Diehard, if you get more ram, I would get 32 GB of just plain faster ram because what it comes with is pretty slow for that CPU. Would be a 5-10% performance increase with faster ram.
