New Monitor

This will be a short post but I just thought I would share the new monitor. I upgraded from my 2560×1080 to a 3440×1440 LG monitor. I still have my left side Discord 1080p monitor and right side Mids/Badger/Wiki 1080p monitor. At the center top is my 46″ TV and I took the picture from a crazy angle to get everything in but when sitting in front the side monitors just cover bezel and not the TV. I passed on my 2560×1080 monitor to my wife to use when working on grading and other teacher assignments from home. The getting her a monitor was the whole plan for the project but I thought getting myself a small upgrade at the same time would be nice.

2021 New Desktop

I decided it was time to build a new desktop for myself.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked
MSI ProSeries Micro-ATX Motherboard (B450M PRO-VDH Max)
Hynix IC 32GB KIT(2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz PC4-25600 CL16 1.35V
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD
Corsair CX Series 550 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply
Thermaltake Versa H17 Black Micro ATX Mini Tower
Antec 120mm Case Fan (5)
ThreeBulls 2 Pack 4-Pin PWM Fan Splitter Cable

I reused my old MSI GT 1030 2GD4 LP OC which helped to keep the price down to $660. I typically build at a pretty low budget trying to get the most bang for my buck.

This desktop will be running Ubuntu Linux 20.04.

AMD Home Server

I thought would share my latest project upgrading my home server. I use it as a web server, Plex server, and file server. The old ones motherboard is going out and I thought I would do an upgrade to something with a little more power than the old one and add the capability that it could handle running a game server for my son or something.

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Processor
Patriot Signature Line 8GB DDR4 RAM
GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H Motherboard
CORSAIR VS400 80+ PSU
APEVIA X-QBER Micro ATX Cube
WD Blue 1 TB Hard drives x3 in RAID5

It makes for a decent system on a budget for the planned use. I already had the hard drives and the rest of the components came to just under $300 before tax.
