Lol, I used to have an 08 Mac mini and that required a razor blade and putty knives to open. I got pretty good at it after separately upgrading the RAM adding an SSD and swapping out the cpu for the most powerful option that Apple didn’t even offer
Yes, it’s the OS for their custom KVM board. Released open source so it can be inspected or altered by the users of their board
I didn’t realize that, and it looks like you’re right, that could be a good deal
I think the 3rd Gen epic and threadripper were the first ones with pcie gen4. You might want to look at something a little newer if you’re wanting to get 10 years out of it. I’m personally looking at trx50 and a 7960x, but still saving up for that $1300 processor
Sounds like it may be time to consider threadripper, combined with an Intel arc/battlemage GPU, if you want more pcie lanes and quicksync
I don’t think motherboard video would work at all with a Ryzen 5600, as they don’t have an igpu at all
Lol by the time I actually needed to upgrade from that mini, all the fruit stand stuff wasn’t really upgradable anymore. It was really frustrating, so I jumped ship to Windows.
Those iMac screens seemed so fiddley to remove just to get access to the drives. Why won’t they just bolt them in instead of using glue! (I know why, but I still don’t like it)
