2242/2260/2280 M-key"I can't see them - I think they're under a heatsink thing, just under the CPU
Yeah, though this only shows one...

Seems fine. Main thing is if the mobo can take 2 nvme cards and looks like it can. The PSU is almost definitely overkill, without a proper GPU he could probably get away with a 600w one. When you say home lab, I assume it's some kind of development like databases? Because running LLMs will want a GPU with huge dram, graphics will want a proper GPU, I can't think of much that doesnt.
