Hi all, long-time lurker (thank you!), first time poster (sorry!) here. 
I’m in the process of putting together a small, speedy DL rig, and have a setup designed that I feel somewhat content with at the moment. The goals are:
- Sub-$2k price point
- Small-ish (ideally mATX form factor, if that is even possible)
- Quiet-ish (prob going to sit in my office or my home, so less distraction the better)
- Expandable (PSU + Motherboard) to 2 GPUs if needed later, fits at least one 1080ti-based card for now
- Expandable (PSU + Motherboard) to 64GB of RAM if needed later
Here’s what I’ve come up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sxxHCy
I’ve measured clearances (GPU size, CPU cooler height, PSU fit), and it looks like they all check out. I figured before pulling the trigger on these purchases I’d check with all you folks more expert than me to see if I’m missing any critical component or have overlooked any critical flaw. Would love to hear your feedback – thanks in advance for any advice!!!
p.s. once this is built I’ll plan to publish a more detailed blog post on the rationale and build, since I haven’t seen anything to date at this size and price point (plz feel free to DM me if you have seen something similar so I can link and/or not be redundant with others!)
