My workstation 'charm' is to be one of my computers in my office. Next is 'tact'.
I've been spec'ing out a wish-list for my future workstation which will replace 'tact'. Note that it might be nice to have multiple NICs, so that I can have a direct connection to justice, which has 4 NICs, only three of which are allocated (for the Smoothwall GREEN, ORANGE, RED interfaces).
Parts
Pick list
- might like to check out AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO and the Asus Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE that goes with it.
- see https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/r9xwt8
Threadripper
This is a more reliable and expensive but slightly slower build as an option.
