I got this PC from my dad when he upgraded in like December ish. I’ve been running Kubuntu on it and just using it like a sort of general purpose desktop for me and my wife, but I’ve got a hankering for some tinkering and feel like it has more potential, so I’d love some project ideas!

    I had a 6700k until December just gone. For Linux it can do everything and anything. It’s totally usable! I only gave mine up because of CS2.

      It even has integrated graphics - so throw out that GPU, I have my server with a 6700k pull less than 20W at idle!

        I have 7700 went with fanless case and ssds, 25w underload, 15w idle. 750w PSU doesn’t use its fan until you hit 30% load.
