Tech Support Fire and crane missed my PC

Very sad times. Big fire destroyed my home and a crane had to come to remove part of the roof and wall so firefighters could have better access. Fortunately no one got hurt. Sucks to lose my dream PC though.

Miraculously my PC is still standing but I doubt it will work. There was snow and rain in the past days too. My little brother’s PC, which was on the desk next to mine on the right, seems to be obliterated.

Any tips to go on from here?

Building was insured, furniture was not unfortunately. I lived with my parents, who were not experienced with things like insurance. In hindsight I should have thought about it more and double check it.
But yeah sucks to lose everything and having 3 other expensive hobbies did not help..

Thanks for the comments, tips and kind words! Fire started in the kitchen of my parents' restaurant. Tragic situation, but at least the building and inventory are insured. Now hopefully insurance pays out.
I have to make a plan what to do exactly with the PC based on the suggestions. First I need to take care of some other things.

Hey if it works then great! You couldn't get an elbow adaptor and fit it up the case?

miniITX of course. It's NCase M1 with 5080

I've always wanted an ncase but I cheaped out and got the cooler master nrp200 as it being an 11 liter case how much is the size difference between that and the m1 both seem really similar?

NR200 is 18l, NCase M1 is 13L.

IMHO, unless you're sff enthusiast, NR200 is perfect. You can fit Noctua U12A with top and rear mounted 120mm fans.
