Aww thanks!

Yeah his old PC was a Haswell era quad core with a 1660ti. Being AM4 socket, he can go up to a 5700G in the future, or change the cooler and put in a discreet video card.

Know how to piss off a conservative neighbour? Tell them you’re renovating your bathroom and making it gender neutral. Wait for their reaction.

Is that the Node202 case?

Absolutely. This system isn’t a high performer, however it is extremely quiet as the fans rarely ever need to turn on.

That’s why you see the drill in one pic, had to drill & tap a couple extra holes. Thankfully two of the original ones lined up already.

Honestly, wait until this rampocalypse ends. This is my last system for some time, because the memory alone was more than the cost of any other part.

It’s what I had on hand at the time.

Those fans actually dropped the temperature a bit, even in a traditional case. They are noctua’s thin fans.

I don’t have this 3080 any longer, went to a 9070XT.

Oh, wait… 3060 died, how? Sometimes it’s fixable if you have a flow station.

It was $540. But admittedly, the ram came before the AI apocalypse. So it’s probably closer to $700 now. All off ebay, except the case & PSU.

Missed you comment on the performance difference to the steambox. It’s bad. The 4650G isn’t great. Played deep rock galactic at maybe 45 FPS.

I haven’t done benchmarks, but it’s about the speed of a GTX 1650, but being AMD it works much better on Bazzite (Linux)

I have about 10 nvme drives of varying sizes from before. The 1TB drive cost me $70 (about $78 after tax) before the shitstorm.

Hey I got a huge system too. Gotta run my Jellyfin off some kind of “server”

Case: Raven RVZ02, CPU Ryzen 7800X3D, GPU RTX 3080

Edit

This was about 4 years ago. This is the system I sharpened my teeth on. Had to modify the 3080 to fit with a fan mod.

2060 6GB? Hey it’ll play most things. I have an RX580 kickin around here, and another SG-13 case. I might do another one if I can find an ITX board which takes ddr4 sodimm memory. It’s the only memory I have left from an dead laptop.

I build mini PC’s for fun. This is my main rig

Nice! How’d you cram your hardware in there? I had so much trouble.

Yeah man, had to cut out about 10x20mm of steel to fit the AIO tank. A minor modification. Good news: You only have to remove the PSU to upgrade NVME, CPU & Memory. I suspect when this AI bubble pops, i’ll drop 64GB @4000Mhz, and a Ryzen 5600G in it. wishful thinking…

I criticized ICE, and about 12 hours later I was met with a “Blocked by network security” page. The only option was to appeal to support, who wanted an explanation. I could still access my user settings so I went straight to the account deletion option.

I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.
