Well, death by a thousand cuts for keeping a couple of video games working.
Let me back up a little bit. I was able to get 7 Dell® Optiplex Mini 3070s and a Dell® Optiplex Mini 3050 from a computer recycler for free. Unfortunately they did not have power supplies, a lot of memory, or any storage but I have been slowly purchasing replacements for those components.
| Mini 3070 | Mini 3050 | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel® i5-9500t | Intel® i5-7500t |
| RAM | 32GB DDR4-2400MT/s | |
| Storage | 1TB NVME m.2 flash | |
Well, it is going to do stuff for both tasks. I have the option of using the machines for several different tasks. Some of those tasks are more suited towards one side or the other.
