Hey man, the RAM arrived finally! I have yet to open it, as I need to free up an HDD or order an SSD to complete the rig, but one step closer to that 'retro' rig coming to life!
Ryzen is coming...
Maybe in end of january
And hello from here
We're still here, still partying
We'll be needing that yabs once it's all together
You know it!
yeah kinda wanna see some drop/dustin apperance today, been few days
Oh there will be YABS, and I'm going to see how far I can push the Core 2 Duo with overclocking. Should be a fun build.
I have a 2005 era build with a Core 2 Quad overclocked and a measly ATI Radeon 4350 (I think) and it can actually hold its own quite well.
You know the drill, we gotta pump up the hype!

And here I am working. I need to get my priorities strained out. (later)
You guys are partying hard
Glad to hear that!
I'll be looking forward to that YABS

Gonna run to the store in a few minutes, maybe I'll unbox the RAM once I get back and fire the machine up on a live USB, just to get a baseline YABS.
Woohoo, baseline YABS!

8GB DDR2 big thanks to @FrankZ
LETS-PAY-IT-FORWARD
I'll see about putting it in the machine tonight, if not, hopefully tomorrow sometime. I'm curious as to how well that Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz will perform along with that 'beast' of a graphics card known as the GeForce 8500 GT.
Wow! I know I said it before, but still super nice of you @FrankZ (and then @dustinc )!

All this talk about beer and I ended up drunk ordering another VPS... oops!
Could I get some double bw on it? Thanks!
Order Number is: 6976959965

Nice.
Jokes aside, I have to be careful too when I have a few because these prices are too tempting even if I don't need more servers yet.
Congrats .... So what are you building with theses? Home NAS?
I'm thinking a retro gaming rig, as I already have the Xeon powered machine as my home server/NAS.
Yup, that E3 beauty.. how is that working? You setup a raid on that? or just normal setup?
It has a pile of mismatched HDDs so just normal setup. Working great, and the Xeon has upped my power draw only about 9 watts on 120V. Actually that might be the graphics card I added since the i3 had iGPU and the Xeon doesn't. I guess a Radeon 2400 Pro pulls 9W. lol
Isn't e3 enough for NAS? Why do we need graphics card? For desktop option?
It sits in my living room at my desk so it serves a dual purpose of displaying my security cameras on a small wall mounted TV, and sometimes its just easier for diagnosis. Its a desktop PC converted to server, just nice to have the option, especially for changing BIOS settings if I want to play with overclocking or just have a live display.
The goodness of @FrankZ and @dustinc is reached us before.
Cool... I guess you have a server room at your home..
Drunk order or not, at least you'll get double bandwidth!
