Never understood the popularity of NAS when it's essentially a PC turned into a specific appliance. Since I have a powerful PC, one of the functions is NAS (file server). Less power consumption since my PC stays on 24/7.
Initial measurements have the thing idling at 50 watts, which is half of the power consumption of the PC it replaces.
VR is incredible. Half-life Alyx is mind-blowing. My brother-in-law upgraded from VR flying to RL (Real Life) flying, so I'm uncertain how much he'll be teaching me DCS World.
