What You've Just Bought!

So... Building Dad a new machine. His now:
I7-2600K stock cooler
Unknown MOBO
R7-360 4gb vram
4GB ddr4 2666 (single stick)
240GB Platter drive
Some cooler master case with a single 92MM fan in the rear

His soon:
*I9-9900k w/Dark Rock Pro 4 (Air cooled for longevity)
*Gigabyte AORUS Z390 Elite
MSI 6600XT OC
*16GB 2x8GB ddr4 3000
*512GB SSD (OS) *WD Black 1TB (Media) *Samsung 850 evo 1tb (stuff)
all stuffed in a new Fractal Focus G Black case and powered by an *EVGA 850w

Had to get him a new monitor since the one he has now is 1600x900
and his desk has size constraints, so I got the ASUS VP228 21.5 1080p

Asterisks are the parts I already had and to say that it will be a decent upgrade is an understatement. :p

Man I need to upgrade my server desperately. I'm still rocking 8TB drives from like half a decade ago. Got 16 of em now, I really want to upgrade all of them to 16/18TB drives. Though since i moved to Japan my homelab has been drastically simplified. Just a NAS and a NUC (replaced my raspberry pi kube cluster a while ago for faster Jellyfin transcoding)

Bought an almost fully loaded Lenovo P1 G5. My P1 G4 was stolen/misplaced (I'm leaning towards stolen) during shipment, got my money back for it and waited.
  • Processor : 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-12900H Processor with vPro® (E-Core Max 3.80 GHz, P-Core Max 5.00 GHz with Turbo Boost, 14 Cores, 20 Threads, 24 MB Cache)
  • Operating System : Windows 11 Pro 64
  • Graphics : NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3080 Ti 16GB
  • Memory : 32 GB DDR5 4800MHz (2 x 16 GB)
  • Storage : 1 TB PCIe SSD
  • Display : 16.0" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS, anti-glare, 500 nits, 165Hz
  • Camera : IR & 1080p FHD
Looking forward to boiling water on it. Probably going to upgrade the SSD to a 2/4TB Gen 4 SSD at some point.

Also bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-WP900 headphones to go with it. Listened to them in a store in Nagoya a few weeks ago and finally pulled the trigger. Also bought a USB-C DAC to go with it.

Looking forward to my ultimate mobile setup :tongue:

Did you bring the server with you or leave it somewhere in the states?
