I got a new Box
Hey Steemit,
My new desktop box just came in. Here are some pics.
I ordered this from system76.com. They specialize in making Linux boxes, and I'll be running Linux on this one, probably Manjaro Linux. https://manjaro.org/
This particular model is called "the leopard" https://system76.com/desktops/leopard
Here are the specs:
- 3.8 GHz i7-6800K (3.4 up to 3.8 GHz – 15 MB Cache – 6 Cores – 12 threads)
- 64 GB Quad Channel DDR4 at 2400MHz (4× 16 GB)
- 4 GB GTX 1050 Ti with 768 CUDA Cores
- 1 TB 2.5" SSD + 500 GB 2.5" SSD
I'm going to use this as my general at-home computer for gaming, Steeming, and whatever else.
Ready for the Hardfork?
@neoxian
I am ready.
Great
The Black Box is Ready
Good
Nice to be the first to know and upvote.
Congrats on being the first!
Thank you @neoxian
It's a long time ago I had a tower; Maybe it is still sitting in storage somewhere. But WOW, with windows (not that one :)) and everything! Now interior design gets another angle: the need for speed with design elements that pleases the eye!
Box is very good, I really like
That is a sexy box for linux. I kind of have an idea what Linux is. It's an operating system? @neoxian, box is bigger than my home. Steem On Dude!
Linux is an operating system, like Windows.
Jeez, that is definitely high-spec. Nice
W-O-W, this is really a MACHINE. What kind of games will you be playing on that beast? i would be running GTA V and The Witcher III like crazy
Well I only play Linux games. Playing Minecraft loaded down with tons of mods could give the box a workout though.
Well, "tons of mods" sounds a lot of fun tho, i barely can play it with my laptop but i have my old Atari for it, never get's old haha
That's what my son is always crying about. He loves Minecraft and the mods and shaders and I don't know what all lol. His machine isn't new but still I5, 8 gigs plus $400 graphics card....I tell ya having kids is expensive!!!
I'd love a blog post about what you'll be doing with this machine. Maybe some virtualization? Any editing?
Will do.
Damn that's one helluva box!
It's very boxlike.
That's a beast. I'm also looking to upgrade my desktop soon.
Ah, the landing deck of the Steemit ship eh?
LOL
