Phanteks P400A now with a pair of 140mm and a 120mm (mod) Noctua intake fans is quieter. I do have a pair of exhaust fans in the top/bad corner to keep air off the CPU (big Noctua cooler) moving, worth a couple degrees on the cpu. Next up is fiddling to see if directing air around the GPU can reduce it's temps any. They're decent, but I'd like a little cooler if I can pull it off.
SFF builds are definitely niche. I did replace the NZXT fan with a BeQuiet fan for the AIO and then put two slim Noctua fans on the rear and it's extremely quiet. The only thing I hear is the GPU usually. Plus when I'm gaming, I don't care if it's 'loud' as long as it's cooling everything.

if that's not my power supply, it's a very similar model... zero complaints for something like 10-ish years...

Anyone have a suggestion on a decent wheel / pedal set that won't break the bank?

With the Logitech G923 out I'm seeing some decent sales on the G29/G920.

Games I'll be playing: F1 2020+, Dirt Rally, Assetto Corsa. Probably not iRacing quite yet.

The rabbit hole of sim racing wheel setups is quite deep...

The G29 is more than enough. The G923 is not much better and I’ve seen the G29 constantly being sold out/ In stock. Keep an eye on Best Buy as they tend to have them on sale from time to time.

i've got the g29. overall quite happy with it. reverse on the shifter is difficult to get into, and it's in the 'wrong' location. but pedal and steering feel is very good.

one of the best value options. major disadvantage to it is that it's not a direct-drive unit, so there's about a 2-5 degree loose gap around the center point, or when force feedback snaps resistance back and forth. can be a little jarring from time to time, especially while drifting. my understanding is that the $2300+ options from companies like fanatec are direct drive, and eliminate that. but they're $2300+...

iirc, my g29 was $250 with free shipping...

If you are in Austria, Germany or Switzerland (or just want to "fly" over it) Microsoft is releasing a big update today that enhances the visuals in that region.

AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution vs NVIDIA DLSS test results from PC MAG, pretty amazing results from AMD. Increase of performance without compromising image quality.
