A ltt $69 build. Love it

I too once dremel'd a pc case to fit everything in. As long as your airflow is fine, you're golden.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

My last two cases I've had to take the angle grinder to. I am unwilling to get smaller GPUs, or larger cases. I will mold them to my will.

So that's what it means to think outside the box. I've always wondered.

Are those NVMe GPUs? Where can one obtain such things?

[–] dai@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends on if you are space constrained or not.

If not any GPU can be an M.2 GPU, so long as you don't mind the 4x lanes.

Plenty of riser kits available from AliExpress or similar etailors. I've got an old HP all-in-one I've considered strapping a GPU to for some encoding tasks (plex / frigate) but also for shits and giggles.

I did this with a prodesk 600g1. Apart from the hole in the lid, no changes required to the system. (Stock bios, etc.) It does require a separate power supply for the GPU, but it works. I ran it for a while as a portable gaming desktop (switched out the 4130T for a 4770) and it - to my surprise, worked well.

Would be great as a local device dedicated to transcoding or running an LLM. Or as a steam machine.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 1 points 7 months ago

transcoding

It's a ThinkCentre, trans coding is traditionally performed using a ThinkPad.

I really want to make some PC sleeper build disgusted as oldy Unix workstation, with some Linux desktop (Debian probably) running ancient window manager like FVWM. Would be cool to surprise people with it running modern games, lol.

"disgusted"

Oh, autoincorrect, never change... Haha

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Autocarrot is just the best isn't it?

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It's the bust

Almost choked while brushing my teeth reading this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
