>do you actually need the pcie slots for something?
The Taichi only has two PCIe x16 slots, but I believe that I did indeed need to use one due to installing my graphics card vertically.
Didn't want to use a vertical mount due to inherently worse airflow, but effectively had no other choice for securing the 4090, since there wasn't any location to mount a proper shelf in my new case (at least none that I could find). Wasn't going to risk letting the thing sag or snap, so going with the needlessly ricer option was the only real choice there.
That said, it's entirely possible that you're correct, and I simply didn't need a motherboard of that scale. If you have any advice on what to potentially swap-out, I'll gladly hear it. (Although I'm also heading to bed after this post, and will thusly read your replies later).

Again, most of the excessively expensive stuff (barring the motherboard, CPU, and RAM) was carried over from another build, so this specific rebuild attempt didn't cost nearly as much as the price is showing. Thankfully.
