Here's my build log for the house's main rig, Ai Crystal. Usually kept on 24/7.
Primary use case scenario: Linux file server
Secondary use case scenarios, in order of importance:
- Folding rig (it costs around $40 a month to fold 24/7, and I had no clue when I got my 4090 how good it would be at folding)
- Graphic design rig using GIMP, which I can do while folding and having the file server online IF I turn my GPU OC off
- Benching rig in Windows for HWBOT
- Gaming rig, waiting on expansions for Forza Horizon 5
No pictures of the process here, but you can see the original build process for my rig here:
