FINALLY! My sff cube (mini-itx) system went belly up last Sept and since then I had been using an Ubuntu server box as my desktop system. What an unstable P.O.S. that combo is. After Christmas wifey had heard enough of my cursing and said, "Buy yourself a new computer for Christmas!". Translation: dip into your savings and build another computer, so I did. Ryzen 7 2900X, 32GB 3200MHz RAM, 500GB M2 SSD, 3TB hdd, GTX1060 3GB video, all on a sff mini-itx board with a sff 600W power supply that all fit in the old enclosure - with an after market low profile cpu cooler. The 500G ssd holds OS, swap and boot, the 3TB hdd is /home. Installed Leap 15. Goodgawdalmighty this system is FAST! Did a video card benchmark, got really crappy frame rates around 350 or so, then went to Nvidia and got their driver and BOOM! frame rates jumped to about 12000. And I don't even play games. I do, however, do video processing occasionally and it is nice to know I won't have to wait forever for jobs to finish. I finished the project with an Asus RT-AC68U router. All together, I spend around $1400 on the project and am hoping that the hardware will last me for a few years. The opensuse group discussions have been invaluable. Thanks to all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
