Running Microsoft as Host is for me unacceptable, sorry. It is the force of habit that taints the moral Compass. I am sure you can understand that Ofc, for E-banking etc. I have a minimal hardened Gentoo on a Laptop, still I don't want to feed any Corporations with meta that they don't deserve. All of my workflow is based on Linux, and I am trying to keep the use of Windows as minimal as possible. I am going to rest now, looking forward to more comments as I am still not confident about what I should order. Thankyou again for your Feedback LtStaffel, much appreciated

I just checked on HyperV, running Linux for privacy purposes on a Microsoft dom0 seems sketchy to me. I also want to clarify that I don't want to save money, but instead have a reliable Rig that never lets me down for the next 5-7 years, as I spend around 8h a day using it.

GPU speeds for hashing simpler things, without having to shut down the Win VM and maybe have to reboot to fix the D3 sleep problem caused by the NTP bug. As for the Threadripper, wouldn't it them be better to go with a Ryzen 7 @ 8 cores? Also check my last response, edit happened!

What would performance loss look like with that option? I have the opportunity to start a well funded online content creation that requires a lot of work, for my benefit I would love to get it done seamlessly without waiting on some process hogging all of my resources. In a dream world scenario, I'd love to render a 4k vid, upload another and simultaneously record a 3rd. I do not know exactly either, but I just thought that I could upgrade to 128 later (futureproofing) and if not I can always throw them on another rig? I see your point, if no one objects to this I will go with the "slower" option.

That opens a new perspective on things, much appreciated. I have 32gigs in my Rig atm, and I find having problems when rendering 4k, and I would like to render and do other things during that time. Also what leads you to the decision to use 2400 Mhz memory sticks?

Indeed, it probably is, but it will speed up rendering, and I research a lot of Cybersec related things that often require me to spin up a few VM's at a Time -> Updating the main post to reflect that.

I need to build a new Work slave, my old Rig is dying and will not be able to keep up with the future loads I need to be handled. I am an avid Linux user that needs microshit to get things done, so I want to go with virtualization and direct throughput of my second GPU. I will use my 1070 that I already own for this. My budget is around 4.5k, but I am willing to spend more if there is a reason to. Work that will be done on this Rig will include: Linux (hardened-arch - i3gaps) Organisation (emacs, taskwarrior, etc.) Web development & smaller python projects Browsing and Office Cybersecurity related Research using multiple VM's Windows (7) 3D (Cinema 4D, Sculptor and similar) Adobe Suite (After Effects, Premiere & Photoshop) Plugin heavy 4k rendering & Motion tracking Gaming, for recording & Streaming I will be using the Atomos Ninja Now I am aware of the NTP bug with Threadripper and KVM, so, for the time being, I will go with ESIX instead. Are there any Downsides to that? I am also a bit torn between Threadripper and Intel, factoring in Meltdown and Spectre and Adobes infertility to support new Tech. After Effects scrubbing is a lot worse with a high amount of cores then with less, links to reference Videos: Computer #1 has a 4,4GhZ Overclocked 6 core Intel CPU: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqqcm9ff9blfmck/AfterEffects_6core4.4Ghz.mp4?dl=0 Computer #2 has an Overclocked 1950X Threadripper 3.8GhZ CPU: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lalh1gm0z0emxwe/AfterEffects_threadripper.mp4?dl=0 I am planning to the following setup of disk space/Devices: Windows M.2 for OS/Software/Games 1TB M.2 for ProjectFiles M.2 for Dedicated Cache Linux Single M.2 for everything General 4TB data & 4TB backup / Archive 10TB Video Backup (Have a 100TB NAS 65% filled acting as Archive for this Drive) I also have a bunch of 500GB - 4TB drives flying around. Monitors: My primary requirements are IPS and 100% of the RGB space without light bleed. Secondary but not optional would be at least 120hz for Gaming, preferably 144hz at least 2k - sadly AW is delayed with its 4k 144hz monitor which I will get if it holds what they promise. Optionally I would love to give G-sync a shot I want to have a 4 Monitor setup with a big TV, so I need 5 Outputs, one or two for Windos and three or four for Linux. For the Hardware itself: As already touched on the CPU... I wager to think that it is of more value to have those 32 threads to be able to make use of with virtualization? I hope to be able to OC to 4GHz. 4x16gb RAM @ 3200 to futureproof and maybe upgrade when prices normalize again A GTX 1080 Ti and 1070 that I own already I want a big case that can comfortably fit a custom loop. Oh yeah, did I mention custom water cooling? *EDIT1: Missed to enter my PcPartPicker link to what I would choose: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kRdxLD I am very grateful for any input, I will update this thread as we finalize the Plan and there will be a Buildlog with proper Cinematographic videos
