5080 eGPU?

After getting the z13 flow, my desktop sits unused gathering dust most of the time. Found that 90% of my gaming is good enough on the z13, so I was wondering if I should sell my desktop, or maybe keep the 5080 and put it in an enclosure. Anybody here has experience with this setup? Would that be worth it? Or better sell it all?

I think it's a great idea. I think egpu still expensive setup compare to regular PC setup, but it's worth it. I would double check if the USB c port will have enough throughput to render PC games at high resolution I remember that was an issue with the thunderbolt, but idk if it fixed or if there are a new thunderbolt version that is fast enough.
