Fast-forward a bit and I used it to build my kid a new machine, except my old RTX 2060 was a "2.5 slot" card which means it's literally the one and only PCIe card I can install. I had to get him a USB wifi adapter...
@duffyjp : Maybe i'm mis-reading your comment here...but are we out of the GPU apocalypse yet? Genuinely curious, because I've been holding out getting a small desktop PC for homelab use. (Yes, yes, i know for server homelab stuff i don't really need a GPU, but GPU pricing i think tends to portend overall computing cost nowadays.)
The shortage is basically over, and nvidia severely over-purchased fab capacity from TSMC for the 4000 series. Prices have tanked and will likely keep going down unless nvidia can sell off the 5nm fab time.
