I am building a new workstation finally I think. My existing rig is in a Corsair 400Q case. It's a nice case, but it's sitting on the floor and I know it's full of dust. My desktop has been down there for years now, but before I moved here I had a wire shelf riser so it wasn't directly on the floor and that seemed OK.
With the new system, I'm debating between building a mini-ITX system and putting it on top of the desk (looking at something somewhat showy like the Phanteks Evolv Shift Mini), or to just build an ATX system and continue to use my existing case. I like this case, it's quiet, not flashy but looks nice, etc.
Eventually I would like a motorized sit/stand desk, but not sure when I'm going to do that. I thought the smaller system might be better for that.
This is a Linux system, probably end up a Ryzen 3700X with a Radeon WX 3200 video card or something similar.
