3beansalad, who did your deck? Mine is at end-of-life and I'm thinking about paying someone to do it.

Southern Mesa. I can give you Kyle's number (the owner) if you like. Cover coming after the wedding reception.

You can come check out their work if you want to.

Nice find. I have yet to find one that isn't 100x MSRP.

well; this new toy used a lot of spare parts, and was not until today I had a good OS installed that
activated the 5 gig nic. I had used Debian 12 for a few days before I noticed that the new version
of this Linux distro was about to hit.



I slapped an AMD Am5/R-7 processor + 64 gigs (2 sticks), recycled m.2 and power supply.
I am running of the graphics from the process with good results. The display is an
old 24" ultra sharp - which performs quite good. The processor is new / but I decided
that the other build I am working on would not be as good as a fit than the ryzen 9.

I just installed Debian 13 today and after a bit of fussing the nic works fine (used a usb->cat 5).
No wifi - but I rather run this via hard line. The motherboard is a MSI 850 Tomahawk series.

I will need to dig out the angle grinder to tweak the BluRay writer tray for the top bay so the
bottom 3.5" cage does not hit the CPU fan. The drive is hidden by the top flip down cover fake
floppy drive. Even the low(er) profile Noctua CPU cooler was too large.
Based on the documentation I should have had like 20+mm free space. Na, the document lied..

The lower floppy drive cover hides the USB and head jack.

I did not like the included 3 pin case fans, so I opted for the lower end Noctua.

This machine might end up replacing my old desktop machine that I have been using since
Windows 7 Ultra first came out.

It is pretty fast for something that sort of looks like an old style 286 class computer . I have an
older direct x-12 8 gig video card I can stuff into the box if I need that sort of thing.

I did notice that the Prusa slicer seemed to be running a bit faster than the other Window machines
I use.
