Motherboard - Asrock Z890 Pro-A
RAM - TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert DDR5 32GB 6000MHz (PC5-48000) CL30
HD - M482 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB SSD
Storage - 2x WesternDigital 14TB HD in RAID 1
Case - Antec P101 Silent
PSU - EVGA 850w P5

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.
