Jesus. I thought it was for recording, at least.

And here I am, listening to the inferior sound of my gaming-RAM.

Or you could just save your money and put a normal PC in another room where you can't hear the fans.

I feel like I could build a nearly silent PC for 1/10th the price and serve a lot more than just audio from it, and still be comfortable with keeping it in the room with me

Noctua literally has a consumer grade fanless heatsink that is allegedly just as good as advertised for like 100 bucks. Find a quiet PSU and you're basically done. Unless it needs a GPU which could be more problematic

Literally just build a normal PC but use one of these big hear sinks instead of a fan: https://graphicscardhub.com/passive-cpu-cooler/

This is exactly what I was going to say
You can get fiber optic extenders for USB, video, networking. They can be spendy, like $1,000, but it's a one-time purchase. A lot cheaper than this computer

Absolutely true, there are some real world scenarios where fiber has the advantage
But yeah, for most scenarios, conventional cables are fine, ---

Fanless PC cases cost about $400.

Or just go with a fanless one, perhaps an ARM based or even a PC. 🤷♂️

For a such a price I would expect a larger Optane SSD (I am assuming you would use it for your boot/application drive).
2TB base storage is also ridiculous for such a price, although you can fit a lot of music in 2TB even if you store everything in FLAC.
Cort@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y
The optane is weird on multiple fronts, but what struck me was the ram. ONLY 48GB when you have dual CPUs, seems weird for something of this price.
recklessengagement@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
That, and how they're somehow able to take you from 2TB of additional storage to 64TB for a mere 2 grand... Something isn't adding up

It only runs on triple-filtered HiFi high octane electricity

I am both disgusted and aroused

You can only get so hard/wet
Burninator05@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
The fact that I'm both at the same time is why I'm disgusted.

These specs look like a leftover casserole of hardware.
el_bhm@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
Yep, leftovers. I wonder if those mobos are server ones as well.
Might be a good sell with upcycling. But power consumption on these is probably nuts.

Dual xeons on a non-server board?
I doubt it…
Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 1y
You can tell it's high-end by the huge bank of filter capacitors.
el_bhm@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
Windows running RoonOS(Linux) in a docker? Thats why two Xeons?
