When doing the install I first installed Ubuntu Server 20.04.4 LTS and then upgraded to a "desktop" with an `apt install kde-plasma-desktop`.
 
I needed to install the Hardware Enablement Kernel (HWE) to support my new NIC.

In the end I put the root system on a btrfs file-system on an MD RAID device, and I'm fairly happy with that.

These are the actual parts I ended up ordering.

=== Intel ===
 
This is a newer, cheaper, faster build as an option, but it has fewer CPU cores and less CPU cache. The PNY Performance RAM is ECC RAM, so that's nice.

=== Sick Threadripper ===
 
This is a more capable (24 core CPU), reliable (ECC RAM), and expensive but slightly slower build (it doesn't have DDR5 RAM) as an option. This build is (was) tricked out with with extra RAM (but I decided I can't afford it).

Latest revision as of 01:18, 14 August 2023

My workstation 'charm' was my primary workstation in my lab, it is replaced wby 'charisma'. You can read about its disk configuration or my other computers.

This new workstation (as at 2022-03-24) replaces 'tact'.

See keyboard for details of the attached keyboard.

Config

You can read about the disk configuration.

Most of the build was done at the shop, but I had to pop the lid to install the new dual channel NIC.

In the BIOS I disabled the following components:

  • the onboard Intel NIC
  • the onboard WiFi
  • the onboard Bluetooth

When doing the install I first installed Ubuntu Server 20.04.4 LTS and then upgraded to a "desktop" with an `apt install kde-plasma-desktop`.

I needed to install the Hardware Enablement Kernel (HWE) to support my new NIC.

I did try (very hard!) to follow the instructions for installing Ubuntu 20.04 Root on ZFS but I couldn't make it work. In the end I put the root system on a btrfs file-system on an MD RAID device, and I'm fairly happy with that.

Parts

These are the actual parts I ended up ordering.

Research

Options

These are some options with total costs; note things that have already been ordered are not included in the totals.

    PC Part Picker

    These are some PC Part Picker specs I considered (latest on top)...

    Considered

    These are parts I considered along the way...

    Intel

    This is a newer, cheaper, faster build as an option, but it has fewer CPU cores and less CPU cache. The PNY Performance RAM is ECC RAM, so that's nice.

    This is a more capable (24 core CPU), reliable (ECC RAM), and expensive but slightly slower build (it doesn't have DDR5 RAM) as an option. This build is (was) tricked out with with extra RAM (but I decided I can't afford it).
