Currently i’ve got a standard ATX pc build that i’ve had for a few years now.

Recently i’ve grown increasingly fond of the look and idea of a SFF pc. I’m curious if it’s worth the endeavor to buy all the necessary things to make this conversion (mobo, case, cooler, psu?). I just bought a new SFF 5080, and decided I might want to use the smaller size to its fullest advantage.

My biggest concern/question is i’ve currently got a 12900k which is on the LGA 1700 platform. Would it be stupid to buy an ITX motherboard on this same platform since it’s technically outdated now?

As the title says, i’m deciding between a new Steelcase Leap V2 and a remanufactured from Crandall.

There’s currently a great sale on the Steelcase website and I can get one brand new for roughly 1k.

After speccing out the chair how I want it through Crandall, with the headrest included, it equals roughly 1k as well.

I’ve heard that the Crandall version has a nicer cushion, and it also includes the atlas headrest as well as the fabrics which look very nice to me.

My question is whether a new one with OEM parts offers any benefits other than the obvious being that it’s brand new and untouched.
