I agree, as low spec owner when you upgrade, you are so used to being picky to save resources as much possible since you don’t have luxury to do any high end stuff. And finally when you upgrade the habit still stays. And I think that is a good thing but sometimes it won’t hurt to go full flashy mode with all RTX on just to brag once in a while😁.
my first beowolf cluster, I built because I wanted to improve my pentium 486’s chances at doing well in some random FOSS benchmark (PiMark? it calculated pi… and you could ‘donate’ cpu runtime to help calculate more digits of pi.) It was cobbled out of my dad’s spare part’s rack.
Should have seen my dad’s face when he realied why i built the beowolf… “You mean… you did this. FOR PI??”(“Okay, that’s actually cool.”)
I’d always go as minimal as possible to have the most resources available for things I want to run, not for things I have to run.
