I bought a new GPU, RAM, and SFF case that I have all received, but the problem is my computer is still functioning without moving all of the components into the new case. So I've been putting it off.
I, again, am putting off doing an annoying task and incentivizing myself via the sunk cost fallacy of this market.

@cinocimai if you hover over market close time it should show you how much time is remaining, I'm EST if it helps though
old: gtx 1080 (either accidentally fried it with a cheap power supply, or it eventually died due to abuse (lots of searching for prime numbers and gaming)), antec 900 case (every single case fan was dead so the side was just off)
new: bought a 4090 that i thought wouldn't fit in an antec 900, but it actually does (hence the dilemma about rebuilding it in a new case), but i needed a new case anyway. i had already upgraded mobo and cpu last black friday to MS-7D42 microatx and i7-12700k, which works great for computational mathematics, and eventually decided i wanted a 4090 to do prime searching and machine learning for the winter (it gets cold where i am). went ahead and bought 128GB DDR4 while i was at it, because i remember being slightly ram limited during some computational mathematics i was doing last winter (though i forget exactly what process)
TLDR:
i7-12700k
rtx 4090
128 GB DDR4
@HughHefner i actually hate building computers, but i like having a powerful computer. the old case is over a decade old, and i've been ship-of-theseus-ing it with new parts as the old ones break
was having some problems getting the boot drive figured out, i had upgraded win 10 to win 11 onto another drive (my nvme C drive), and kept win 10 on my D drive, and now I think the efi portion required to boot is only on the D drive, but I want to disconnect it, so it took me a long time to figure out how to get an efi partition onto the fully partitioned C drive, but I think i have it figured out now.
@oh it finally booted! for some reason there's a switch on my 4090 that can either be on "silent" or "gaming" and i switched to "gaming" during this process and that was singly responsible for the boot loop, very strange, but it's working now! will resolve YES shortly.
