A steamdeck, no screen, an evo212 cooler, and possibly just loaded with USB ports. Mmmmmm

an evo212 cooler

So I only bring this up because I had my world shattered like 3 months ago when I built a new PC - the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler is really expensive these days, like, $80-$90 (there are some models that use the same name but have different heat pipe configurations that drop down into the $50-$60 range, but aren't the ol tried and true 212 that we all bought in the 2010s), and a complete ripoff, and it's really sad.

You can get some Noctua coolers for a few more bucks, or pay a third of that price for a Peerless Assassin, or pay about half again that price for something from ID-cooling, all for similar or better performance to the 212. It's no longer the automatic choice it once was. The king has been dethroned.

Dude what!? I bought my 212 for like 35 bucks back in 2014. As far as I know my nephew is still rocking that setup every day since 2019. That's wild they're selling them for 80ish....smh my head.
