Yep. Global Starlink outage for a few hours.
100%. I had a Beyonwiz unit doing the same thing for a while - there was always something saved on there that was interesting to me. Never needed streaming services!
I came across this Costco (usa) PC that’s very similar to mine by way of case and specs for $2500 USD.
Their CPU is more powerful (8 cores vs 6 and higher clock) and it has a RTX5080 GPU but only 16GB of vram where my two RTX3060 have a combined 24GB vram.
Theirs also is water cooled, like all my old pc, but I now think that’s overrated, and not only is the AMD ‘Wraith aircooler’ dead silent, I no longer worry about a water cooling tube splitting and drowning my PC,
It’s a informative video for anyone that want’s a more detailed look into the type of PC I have built.
Update: RTX3060 specs
While the card is a older model (available new still) it does have a 192-bit memory interface compared to the 128-bit memory interface of the newer RTX-5060 costing at least three times as much, making it a good choice for one or two cards to use to host local AI. And play the odd game.
RTX 3060 Specs
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is a desktop graphics card based on the GA106 Ampere chip, featuring 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit memory interface.
