>>4226388Yeah but this is already built I just have to stuff drives in it, it's literally turn key I think it even still has the Server 2008 R2 OS on it. Besides, it's cool.
>>4226414I played Unreal 3, HL2DM, CS Source and Borderlands 1 and 2, it even handled Nu-DOOM well. I think I got Warframe to work on it early on in the beta.
I had the 1950x TR with a bitchin watercooling setup, pic related, and it just blew me away how much horsepower it had. I went on the road and only used it a few times and ended up selling it to a friend who does multimedia and at the time had a Bulldozer AMD setup. When I come off the road I'll build another top-shelf Threadripper watercooled setup, probably even in that case. I modified the case specifically for the Threadripper and had fun bringing it to LAN parties and everyone asking me if my Pentium 2 will run Crysis lol
She rides.
>>4226446I used W10Privacy and turned all that crap off and de-bloated it. It runs much better but i still see a minimal amount of network traffic.
Also why the Linux hate, hell I have a Thinkpad T61 with Middleton's BIOS mod and it runs Fedora 34 LXDE purty good on a Core 2 Duo with 8gb ram.
