Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.
matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.
It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.
If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.
If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.
A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.
Fwiw, pi zeros have USB host & device/gadget modes, but I doubt a zero would have enough power to do what you need
He’s on float plane. I think he’s trying to make a living, so I’d assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor
Don’t forget the rdram in the N64 that Sony didn’t use until PS2/3
Just making sure you realize the company would have the copyright for anything you create while on the clock…
I could be wrong, but I thought it was risky to let windows share a drive with Linux
Taiwan iirc, and they have a 32% tariff from US.
Tldw: get some thin heat syncs 75-80c temps on the ssds
Increased resolution probably wouldn’t make a difference, but keeping the framerate at a steady 30 (or even better 60) would make a noticeable difference. At least it did when I played it on PC
Timberborn, control, civ 6, tomb raider(s). Nothing MMO.
They’ve been teasing a general release for like 3 years now.
I lost hope that it would be any time soon and just installed arch. That was 6 months ago and I haven’t had any show stopping issues yet.
Yeah a cheap switch probably wouldn’t cut it. You’d need a more expensive managed switch to do segregated vlans, which would balloon the budget.
Not sure on veth segregation, but you could probably try with equipment you already have (onboard nic w/ veths > unmanaged gbit switch)
I’ve been looking at the open banana pi router since it has openwrt (debian/Ubuntu too). I think I’m going to wait and hope they put more multi-gig ports on next one tho.
You can probably use it, but you will not get full throughput on all the ports at the same time. 3.5/6 max real world.
My advice, get a cheap pcie4 10g nic and a 10g switch with multiple ports, but idk what you’re trying to do.
I think you’re missing the point of a riser. I’d the motherboard only has a 3.0x1 port, plugging in an x16 riser means it’ll still only be x1 electrically, but it can physically fit larger cards. If the back of the slot is open already there not much point of using a riser since you can physically fit larger cards already.
Pcie 2.0x1 would have a theoretical max of 4gbit/s so it would probably only handle 3.5 gigabit of connections simultaneously.
Hmmm I remember THPS2 had a banger track list that I’d probably be willing to pay extra for, but I can’t remember 3/4 much at all

No, no, it’s a 3 ton pedestrian crushing murder machine. Unless you’re driving a swastitruck, then those sharp corners and edges will shred you.
Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards
