After 15+ years of dealing with Microsoft professionally, I’m so done with it. So my next build will be a dedicated Linux box for some gaming but also 3D design for printing (FreeCAD?) and of course Cura for prepping the designs for printing. I’m ready to pull the trigger and want to check with Linux folks before I do in case there are any glaring compatibility issue or shortcoming I’m overlooking. I’ve already purchased some parts, marked as $0.00 below.
NOTE: I picked AM5 because I don’t upgrade often, but would like the option to stay with the platform when CPU prices drop, for example. But I’m open to suggestions!
I contemplated that one. But the vibe of the Terra won be over. And yes, I paid a “pretty” tax as a result. But I’m in the midst of remodeling my office and it’ll fit very nicely with the overall decor.
This case went down to ;35$ still not bad at 65$

Hmm.
As long as you can get good airflow and your hands don’t feel cramped after working with it, sure, that looks like a winner. Price is right too.
NR200P is such a nice case to work with
