When Valve introduced its Steam Machine cube gaming console/PC, the gaming community began questioning the hardware choices and Valve's performance claims. However, a Valve engineer stated that the Steam Machine is more powerful than 70% of gaming PCs on the market, based on Steam Survey data. It fe...
The spare one is a 5600X which was previously in the same motherboard before I switched to a 5800X.
I am considering getting a B550 motherboard once I have the funds, but the number of SATA ports is kinda low. My current one is X570 with 6 ports.
I am not planning on RAID for now, as I don’t really plan on ever having enough for redundancy, but I definitely want to be able to use the system for any and every task I can program to control via a local SSH. So definitely going with a full distro, like Debian or sth, and not a NAS specific thingy.
I can even make use of my old Radeon 4650 for a display while setting it up.
I made sure to get one with 4 slots (still haven’t managed to use them all though) and good component cooling.
Thinking back, getting the G version would have done better, but I didn’t intend on swapping with a 5800X back then.
Now it’s just about getting the right parts to accompany the CPU and RAM I have lying around. And the HDDs of course. The Toshiba one ended up having an undesirable delay, meaning I would have to go with the Seagate ones priced 50% higher.
And then a router not having a backdoor.
Hopefully I can find one with OpenWRT without having to choose ASUS.

The 5600X is a beast IMO, I had a 2600X IIRC that my kid now has, very good CPU, I understand why you’d like to compile with it 😁.
I also remember mobos were kind of bad, like 2 RAM lanes and few connectics compared to how it usually was “before”.
