Got a question for people with any sort of server/workstation builds (specifically with Xeon Processors and ECC memory)...
I can purchase this SFF workstation build for about $700 + shipping - barely used at all. Current owner just purchased a brand new flex-ATX PSU rated for 300 W, 80+ Gold rated. Specs:
Hes also throwing in free WiFi and Bluetooth USB dongles.
I think my current 5600x build is probably much more capable of workstation tasks than this build, but I don't mind having an extra portable build that I can travel around with.
EDIT: Forgot to ask the question lol, is this a good deal?

So I asked back in November but anything new on the monitor front? I looked around back then and had decided on something but ended up having some unexpected expenses pop up and didnt get to pull the trigger on a monitor. Still looking for mostly the same. 144hz or so 4k if possible. Are most people in here using multiple monitors or one single large monitor?

I love my GN950. Huge improvement over whatever dell model 1440p/165hz I had previously
My GN950 is my primary monitor. On top of that I have an ultrawide, and then above that in the corner is my tv for random shite

I need to do some research. Ive used two 27"s before and liked it but ive wanted more recently. I have a 27" I would be using with the other monitor.

bro we've been over this. Not everyone plays pokemon gold and pubg. I wont play competitive FPS on a 42 widescreen @ 4k

I’ve been enjoying my 32” dell 1440p. It’s curved and I have made the games hud larger so I don’t have to look around so much. 120 FOV also helps with it.
I probably would like the 27” a tad more for pure FPS gaming but I love the screen for non gaming. It also helps my old eyes seeing bigger targets.
And that GD roze skin in warzone, this monitor has made it so much easier

Just saw Microcenter advertising the price of a 11900k today for $613.99 
Intel has gone completely off the deep end.
11600k is $269.99 and 11700k is $399.99...who the heck would spend $214 more for a 11900k over a 11700k, its the exact same processor with slightly higher clocks.

The best value is the 11600KF for $240, and the 11400F for $170.

Intel actually has a lot of value in the Core i5 series and lower.
But the Core I7 and I9 series are absolutely useless.
If you're buying an I7 or I9, just go with a 10th gen 10850KF or a 10900KF, which can both be had right now for under $400 in certain places.
Like why would you pay $400+ for an 11700K or $600+ for an 11900K with TWO LESS CORES? It makes zero sense.
