I got some 16gb of DDR4 i found in a closet. You guys can start bidding.
i'm using an optiplex sff with 32gb ddr4 as a monitor stand right now. i just don't know what the hell to do with it.. so it sits, probably until the dietpi running on a jaguar soc keels over.
What I'd do is a little media center / HTPC so my TVs stay dumb.
already have a media 'server' and several things to watch 'tv' on or from.
this is what we were doing with it.. trying out winpodx, but it's not quite 'usable' like this (updated after this, does same). so it (and it's hp cousin with similar specs) sit waiting for their next call-to-arms.
