First SFFPC: Virtual School PC

Yes, it is 2020 and nothing seems normal. My son has started 2nd grade and it's even more Zoom classes now. So far he's been using a laptop tethered to a monitor but there's too many other software on that laptop that I don't want it to be a distraction to him.

For this build, I managed to pre-order the Cooler Master NR200 SFF case and Amazon delivered it on 8/18. The only other parts I bought for this build are the motherboard and the PSU. Everything else are parts from my other build and pre-built.

It's pretty much a very simple build with an emphasis on my foray into making custom cables for this form factor. There's a learning curve as the short routes mean any mistake shows easily. I used MDPC-X Area 51 and Blackest Black Classic Small sleeve for the cables.
