> SSD + HAT + PSU + Case + Cooler (+ maybe a uSD)

The only 100% required thing on there is some sort of power supply, and an SD card, and I suspect a lot of people have a spare USB-C cable and brick lying around. A cooler is only recommended if you're going to be putting it under sustained CPU load, and they're like $10 on Amazon.

Particularly with Pi 5, any old brick that might be hanging around has a fair chance at not being able to supply sufficient power.
