Shot on a Sony A7sii at LTX. I locked my lens at f/1.4 because I was paranoid about people in the background trolling (wouldn't have had the opportunity to reshoot anything for some of these pics - the lines to meet JayzTwoCents and Linus). Looking back, I should have probably turned face detection on and stopped down a bit, would have been much faster.

EVERYTHING

He admits it himself!!

Here I have conclusive evidence that Luke was indeed wrong.

WAN show news! (their entire product description is full of screen captures from the LTT video) The "LinusTechTips recommend GPD Win" at the top makes it look like it's an endorsement or something.

@nicklmg GPD's AliExpress shop claims that it's "recommended by Linus Tech Tips" with a screencap of the video at 8:24

Benchmarked the old rig, results are in the original post.

Yeah, I know how VNC works, only thing is, it's completely virtualised, so even killing the RDP connection writes the frames to an RDP buffer (Windows Server thing). It makes no difference if I access the machine via VNC.

No I don't have a physical output on the card, as it's designed for virtualised desktops.

First off, some specs: CPU: 18 core Intel Xeon E5-2686v4 RAM: 128GB (16x Hynix HMT31GR7CFR4C-PB 8GB DDR3 Sticks) GPU: Supermicro Tesla M60 Case+PSU+MB: Sunfire 4U Rackmount Storage: Intel 750 Series 1.2TB SSD PCIe NVMe drive + 3x WD Gold 2TB I wanted to benchmark my machine learning rig against the Compensator. Benchmark results: aaaaannnddd that was very underwhelming, none of the 3DMark or VRMark benchmarks ran, no idea whether it's because everything runs through virtual sessions over RDP or just a Windows Server 2016 thing (no video outputs unfortunately). EDIT: Benchmarked the old rig, had proper video outputs on that, the new rig gives about 6x the performance with Tensorflow, how well that improvement translates over to something like 3DMark or gaming, is unknown. The older rig uses an older Nvidia GRID K520, Intel Xeon E5-2670, and 16GB of RAM. and for the results: the older rig is at a firemark score of 4980 The Machine Learning performance doesn't translate very well to 3DMark it would seem

I'm going for the 'industrial look' with this build. Settled on a GPU, got an EVGA 1070 FTW Hybrid in the mail. Had to buy it online because GPU prices locally still haven't settled after the cryptomining craze, and it's cheaper to buy it and pay the ridiculous shipping fees to here than it is to buy one locally (shipping fees here actually make it cheaper to buy from a brick and mortar store in most cases). Case is on the way as well. I'm going to be moving the GPU under the case as well since the PSU's going to be leaving a nice empty space next to it. Going to laser cut a mount for the GPU while I wait for parts, got a Radeon 7950 I'll use for measurements for now.

A. I'm prioritizing aesthetics, but yes, I see your point. Perhaps an MSI Aero or Seahawk X? I'm trying to avoid the gamer-y kind of look. The card's going to be sitting in open air on a pretty well ventilated desk so temps are less of an issue. B. Fair point, might end up just raising the case slightly to get a bigger PSU in. C. I'm cutting through the top of the case so height doesn't matter, I'd much prefer the fin towers in the Noctua or Cryorig R1/H5 for the 'hacked together' look.

I was thinking grabbing a short 1U PSU, trying to go even smaller than SFX, but I suppose it'll have to make do if I can't find anything else. Also, I'm not too fussed about this PC 'blowing up' as such, it's a fun build. I have a Macbook Pro and a Dell XPS 15 for day to day use.

I'm starting a LTT Video inspired build of a compact workstation (and gaming ) PC. Case: Eshakhare no model case (looks better that the GMC1 in the video IMO, and has standoffs I can use for the undercase PSU mounts) will be cut/bent/hammered as needed. PSU: Pico PSU 300W (I might end up going for a 1U rack mount PSU instead if I can find one short enough) MB: MSI Z270I CPU: i7 7700K RAM: TBD, likely G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 1TB M.2-2280 GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition (if I can get my hands on one at a not-inflated cryptocurrency mining price, else an OEM card with a similar cooling setup) CPU Cooler: Tossing up between the Cryorig C7, Noctua NH-D15, and Cryorig R1/H5 Ultimate, likely looking at the last 2, will have to do some digging on expected noise. Open to suggestions, I'm quite aware that this is a pretty balls-to-the-wall build. EDIT: I'm aware that this build is pretty crazy, I don't mind the thing dying on me, it's a fun exercise and I'm not going to be depending on it at all. I have a Macbook Pro and Dell XPS 15 for serious use.
