Just wanted to share a brief look at the build process for my Dan A4 build based on a template/mod created by u/Losercard on Reddit. I like dense, SFF builds which is what prompted me to shift my components from the very impressive NR200 to the Dan A4. Build made possible by a host of 3D printed parts and custom cables with low-profile connectors. I'd say the build complexity is above-average. Not done tinkering just yet!
If anyone is planning anything similar and has any questions, shoot! Thanks for looking.

Current Rig Update 2021 -
Note - The camera doesn’t do justice to its actual view in person. In some pictures the RGB was too bright and had to tone down camera focus to get it somewhat right or to make it look good in focus.
Most of the parts are old and will be upgrading soon to 12th Gen mostly. Need to sell current stuff like cpu/mobo/ram/cooler and ‘maybe’ selling either gpus as currently the 3080 Ti is a bottleneck for my cpu (haven’t overclocked it yet).
Also waiting for the Corsair iCUE Elite LCD H170i Liquid Cooler to launch here (This should complete my build).
Side Note - Is anyone familiar with OC? Any help would be appreciated (maybe in person or you could help over video call).
I’m Mumbai based.

That's PC has some serious power. I was upgrading my PC recently and although a 10900 would not have made me pinch my wallet, I did not see the use of all the extra computational power. Do you feel you push this PC or rather specifically the CPU or the GPU to its limits?

It’s my CPU, when gaming on 1440p with some games my CPU load reaches 100% while GPU load is around 80. So it’s clear that my CPU is a bottleneck. This is when paired with 3080Ti, with 2080Ti everything seemed normal and just perfect. When gaming on 4K theres less stress on the CPU.
My cooler does 60-70 degrees max on full load with random spikes to 75 but not for long. My case is collecting a lot of heat with just one rear exhaust fan, everything else is intake, need to rotate my AIO cooler fans to exhaust and that should solve it.
My CPU isn’t overclocked and neither the Ram with XMP on, tried both but got BSOD all the time. Need someone with experience to help with this, then maybe I can keep the current setup for longer and hold out on 12th gen.

Thanks! Worked really hard to get the vibe "just right".
The keyboard is the Gamakay TK68 (with Gateron Browns). Bought it for 5k from a seller here on TE.

Really grateful to the TE community. The used components saved me about 25k.
Also, I remember you giving great advice on my thread when I was looking to buy a cheap PC table!

I just got the same kb from Banggood with the Gateron Reds. I'm no kb enthusiast, but wow! Such a pleasure to type on.
