Bying new Desktop PC for the living room.

And I ask the analogue questions:

Buying new Desktop PC for the bathroom.​

Well, since you are the only person to knows what you're going to do with a PC in the bathroom, we can hardly advise

Pics? me too!
DIY, used parts. The case is in use since the nineties, fits into the deskside cabinet. Luck or design, it is less than 1/2 mm between cpu-cooler and disk-bay assembly:

Yep, a 32-inch monitor mounted on the door, you sit on the throne while watching youtube... the box with the $3k RTX 3090 and a $5k Threadripper can be mounted on the ceiling, just get the DP cables down to the monitor... ?

If you would buy today a new PC for your livingroom.
[I would at least have the requirement for at least two network connections ...]

Mini-itx Gigabyte Z77 with wifi and dual Gb ethernet - $129
Antec Mini Skeleton-90 case with power supply - $119
Intel i5-3475s cpu - $40
16 GB of ddr3 1600Mhz 9x9x9 - $68


because
* I have a mini skeleton case in my living room. Open, no dust accumulation, very compact, single 140mm150mm fan facing down onto the motherboard (almost silent), have 2 ssd and 2 HD in mine.
* I have Gigabyte Z77 boards (both ITX and micro-ITX) and everything works well with FreeBSD
* I like the Intel integrated graphics on the Intel cpus, it is well-supported, comes with the cpu (!$), and works good-enough.
* I love that i5-3475s for great combo of speed with low-power / low-temperatures
There are cons...

BTW, the included 90-watt ps is probably not adequate I remove it and replace with 160 watt picoPSU -- plugs into the 20-pin atx power adapter. The whole power supply is in the plug! (need a 12V DC input from a wall wart). Who needs more than 160 watts??

You'd also need a molex to sata adapter -- total system cost ~$425.
