HTPC revival

Thanks to the covidrus19plaguedoomlockdown ... i found every inadequacy in my current HTPC build. So, i decided to celebrate my transition into a new job by treating myself to a new scratch build HTPC. The current iteration has been in 3 different cases, rebuilt from spare parts twice, and rebuilt with cheap clearance & open box parts at least twice, all in the span of about 9 years.

This is my wife's main PC for anything she doesn't do on her phone, and our general purpose big screen casual gaming & entertainment system.
