I’m thinking of migrating my current desktop hardware to the server.
Goals
- Desktop (PC1) should be a more current gaming machine. At the very least be able to play stuff like Pragmata or Resident Evil 4 Remake without much issue.
- Desktop (PC2) is fine as a work PC, but I do need to swap out the Logitech keyboard because of the double input issue and a better mouse. Can also be used as a retro machine.
- Media Server needs to have its motherboard/CPU upgraded so that I can use it as a video encoding machine. It takes way too long to encode videos and I’m worried that that causes the electricity costs to go up. I could use the Desktop (Awespyre) PC to do this, then it would have to be doing those actions when I’m out and not playing games.
