Oct 6, 2024, 12:01 AMBefore stumbling across the RX570, I had an NVIDIA GTX580 in there, which was... a bit less fun to work with.
It may work alright under Windows, but under Linux, being pretty much stuck with NVIDIAs outdated, proprietary drivers and no Vulkan support is a pain.
And I sure as heck wasn't gonna go back to Windows for this one either, not for two weeks! <w<

For being such a budget oriented computer, it simply.. worked. And worked well. No hangs, no crashes, no real slowdowns to speak of, even with just 8GB of RAM.
I've gamed on this thing, compiled kernels and OpenWRT images, continued on coding projects and even used it for work as much as I could, I'm really pleased :3

And whoever thought to put the 1x slot BELOW the 16x slot, I strongly dislike you!
The left over components will be used as spares to fix other PCs I know could use some TLC
