A_Tree_In_Tenere

Looking for an ASRock X99E-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA2011-3. They are super hard to find. Willing to purchase if the price is good, or trade for parts I have (HDD, older RAM, older processors, etc.)

I've since upgraded with a rx580, and I agree with the bottleneck, but literally all I use the computer for is photography and/or videography editing, with possible future server integration, so I'm not looking to move heaven and earth...

Here's a challenge for @brandonlee3 -- build your own film camera. Here are the basic parts: Sensor: https://ams.com/area-scan-sensors Processing Unit: https://shop.trenz-electronic.de/en/Products/Trenz-Electronic/TE08XX-Zynq-UltraScale/TE0803-Zynq-UltraScale/ Possible Capture Media: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursaminipro/blackmagicraw Proof that something similar has been done: https://scolton.blogspot.com/p/video.html?m=1 Good luck!

Budget (including currency): less than or equal to $400 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Photo editing and/or video editing Hi Linus et al. Got gifted a Dell Precision T3600 workstation from someone who claimed it didn't turn on and was taking it to be recycled. Long story short, after re-seating everything, it turns on just fine, and I have it running with a Linux distro. Ran some BIOS tests, and everything reports back as "healthy". Much of this machine is better spec'ed than my current desktop (think i5 2400), so I was thinking of performing some basic upgrades to get it optimized, with the goal of using it mainly for photo editing. Current specs are as follows: Processor: Intel® Xeon® E5-1660 Processor (6 core variant) RAM: Corsair 1600 MHz 2 x 8GB Storage: 1 x 128GB SSD + 1 x 256GB SSD (I have a bunch of 1TB spinning drives sitting in a drawer, so potentially using this as a home server as well) GPU: 1 GB AMD FirePro™ V4900 PSU: 625 WATT So the advice I am looking for would be as follows: I have instances where the machine chokes a bit on startup (where I need to press the power button twice to start it up), and I was thinking perhaps it may be a PSU issue or perhaps wiring in the case, so I was thinking of possibly rehousing the innards in a new modern case with a new PSU, but I am not sure which type of case and/or PSU I should be looking at. Ideally looking at not spending more than $150-$200 combined for those parts. I was toying with the idea of a dual boot environment, and experimenting with a hackintosh (scientific purposes of course) and I will obviously need a new GPU for that endeavor. Thinking an AMD Radeon RX 580, but was looking for recommendations on that front. If I can get by with an older, cheaper generation GPU, I am all ears. Thanks in advance for your advice! https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/sln290703/the-hardware-specifications-for-the-precision-t3600-desktop-workstation?lang=en
