Current Computer Equipment Wish List

  • New monitor(s).

    Either 1 4k or a couple of 1440. Maybe curved? Must have speakers, HDR would be nice. Check specs of 1080, no point spending extra on e.g. 144Hz if the card can only do 60Hz

  • KVM switch.

    I can (and am!) swapping the keyboard/mouse/headphones USB over manually, and I've got Silk and the work laptop plugged into different inputs for the monitors, but ideally there'd be one less impediment to using the desktop.

  • 6E router

    Will only bring useful network up to 1Gbps, but could maybe put a 2.5Gbps card in ptah (although the bottleneck there is still the disks).

  • More storage space

    Lounge is full again, 18TB disks are out there (and best £/Gb), although I'd want to get two and mirror them. Equally, 2Tb NVMe drives are getting really cheap, problem is organizing enough M2 slots/PCIe lanes to use them.
