Discussion: What makes your build unique? (lemmy.world)

One quirky detail of my build: it has a tiered storage system through FuzeDrive. What that means is I have an 8 TB shucked hard drive and a 128 GB SSD "fuzed" together through some old software by Enmotus that is no longer available for purchase iirc. This means the SSD acts as a cache for my huge 8 TB drive. As a result, I can just install basically any game I want to my massive 8 TB drive without worrying about space, and if I play that game more than once or twice, it'll automatically move to the SSD portion for faster access.

Some ideas:

Is this using used hardware that has a story?
Got an unusual configuration that isn't normally seen (Dual RTX 3070 for example)
Did you paint it or add special lighting?

what are the specs of the system?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oldass i7, 32GB RAM, couple of SSD's, RTX 2060 12GB underclocked to reduce power, no monitor since it's a VR machine/stable diffusion server. Wirelessly connects to a Pico 4.

For older hardware it manages to run everything I throw at it.

Oh that's more than I expected. I thought you would just power something laptop like by the battery. How long can the system stay up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It'll run indefinitely while idle. I usually put it to sleep when I'm not using it though. I've got a 600ah battery bank so I can pretty much run it as long as I need to under load without fear. My air conditioning is the thing I have to keep in check.
