My first ever desktop.
Sure it's old and outdated. But it's mine.
And more importantly... Other than the Case and PSU it was freeCPU: AMD FX8320 (8-core) (free from friend1)
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 (free from friend1)
RAM: 8GB (free from friend1)GPU: MSI R5770 Hawk (AMD HD 5770) (free from friend2)
SSD: 120GB Sandisk scavenged from old laptop
PSU: 650W Corsair (bought for 30€)
Windows: 10 Edu (free from school :D)
CASE: random iONZ case from eBay. Honestly for 30+10€ it is really good. Actual tempered glass, the holes and layout makes sense. I like it. -
Had my first experience with what I think is rf interference today.
Temporary moved to my parents for the summer (it's hot in the city, and they're out in the countryside). I brought with me some short flat gigabit ethernet cables to run from my NAS to the switch (I just thought they looked neater) but they're sometimes switching to 100mbit, which never happened back at my dorm.
I don't have that issue with short round cables.I think the lack of proper shielding is actually interfering with the packets and causing it to switch to 100Mbit. Didn't expect that to ever be an issue in "real", as in "consumer" life. TIL.
