Curious what you’ve got installed on it. What do you use a lot but took awhile to find? What do you recommend?

    That’s quite interesting. I would have thought that they were more expensive than that. I’ve been there too. You’re doing a bunch of stuff, tired and just want it to somehow work. What have you been doing with the build after that, if you don’t mind me asking?

      Was going to make it a sort of central computer that could centralize all the computing for several members of the family. Was hoping to get a basic laptop that could hook into the unit and play games/program on a virtual machine with graphics far above what the laptop could have handled, plus the aforementioned spin up of more machines for friends. Craft Computing had a lot of fun computing setups I wanted to learn and emulate. I would have also had the standard suite of video services and general tomfoolery. Maybe dip into crypto mining with idle time later on. Lots of ideas that somewhat fizzled out.

        That sounds really interesting. I have some VMs set up in a similar way for family memeber though they’re very low power. They’re mostly used to ease the transition from windows to Linux. I hope you get to do it again sometime :)
