Here's my build log for the house's main rig, Ai Crystal. Usually kept on 24/7.
Primary use case scenario: Linux file server
Secondary use case scenarios, in order of importance:
- Folding rig (it costs around $40 a month to fold 24/7, and I had no clue when I got my 4090 how good it would be at folding)
- Graphic design rig using GIMP, which I can do while folding and having the file server online IF I turn my GPU OC off
- Benching rig in Windows for HWBOT
- Gaming rig, waiting on expansions for Forza Horizon 5
Until the end of 2022, the rig was running a ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, Ryzen 9 3900x, Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm AIO cooler, G.skill Flare X DDR4 3200 cas 14 @ 3800MHz 16-16-16-16-32-50 1T GDM on, and 2x EVGA FTW3 GTX 1080ti in HB SLI. Here is the full parts list for it now.

Glorious GMMK v2 fullsize, Kailh Box Jades, WASD blue o-rings, custom white plastidip and plastidip pearlizer layer on top, genuine Filco Sakura keycaps, stabilizers clipped and lubed, case packed with thin crafters foam, put a small flat metal weight inside.
