For those who are interested in what technology stuff I have at home, I tend to have lots of things, but nothing too high tech or pricey.
My main computer is used for basic gaming as well some general office applications and the occasional video or photo edits. This system is:
AMD Ryzen 5 5500
Windows 11 Pro
32GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060
1TB NvME hard drive
32″ MSI IPS screen
27″ Acer IPS screen
Sanyun speakers
MSI Keyboard & Mouse
I am in the process of changing my backup storage system from a Synology NAS DS216se to:
Gigabyte Brix minipc
Intel gemini lake j4105
8GB RAM
Running a Linux server for docker/plex media storage and sharing, with intention of hosting a cloud file setup shortly.
I have repurposed my old desktop computer to run my DJ setup in the shed, this old girl is often the test machine for doing PC upgrades and trials.
Intel Core i5 4460
16GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 11
Nvidia Geforce 1650 Super
My laptop is now too old to progress with updates, based on my needs I won’t be upgrading laptops anytime soon:
Macbook Pro Retina 2013
The DJ controller still gets an occasional workout:
Native Instruments Traktor S4
Traktor 2 & 3 software
42″ LCD that can watch sport when required
Speakers are no longer stocked by Altronics, but active studio set with a 5″ driver are sufficient for my needs.
For networking, I prefer to run cables where possible, powerline adapters next, then wifi if no other option.
TP Link is my current preferred brand, as I enjoy the functions at the price point for their mesh wifi system.
I have obviously lots of other things that I enjoy, feel free to ask me if you want to know on them (IP cameras, smart lighting/power, robot vacuum, audio stuff)
