About to retire the Alienware (Dell) Aurora R11 FrankenMonster
Bought back in the day as a way to get hold of an RTX 3080 during Covid
- When upgraded to RTX 4080, rehoused to ThermalTake Core P1
- then original AIO pump failed so substituted in new AIO cooler
- ram upgrades / extra Sata SSDs happened along the way as well
Mostly used for PC VR (Skyrim modded) to Quest 2 then eventually wireless to Quest3 via dedicated 6GHz router as well as some Stable Diffusion image gen when that first became a thing. Has been 'good enough' for those tasks but now suffering random resets
Am repurposing case for new 5600x based secondary PC for PC VR to Q3 again
