I always buy Samsung SSDs, and Samsung's drive clone program has worked flawlessly for me when I've used it, just FYI.

I like lots of cores, but I don't think I have any apps (even FS2020) that would make use of them.
I don't think any games use more than 6-8 cores.

Threadrippers are useful for video editing and video upscaling to 4k, where there are applications that uses all these cores (Topaz, there's a great tutorial/demonstration out there where the author uses a Threadripper and a GTX 2080 to upscale DS9 DVDs to near Blu Ray quality; it takes about 12hrs/video hr to process...)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Next week parts will be arriving, I'll keep you updated on the operations. Thank you!

Looking forward to it! :)

Build completed in a couple hours (including a complete dusting of case and fans)!
But more important, the link you gave me about cloning the HDD was an absolute blessing: not only the cloning program, AOMEI Backupper, is fast, safe and dumb-proof, but in the article they suggest using AOMEI Partition Assistant to manage the partitions: well, this one is even easier to use, and partition managing, that the last time I installed a new HD was an absolute headache, has become a breeze.
Thank you so much, Viper, much appreciated help! :cheers:

I really like AOEMEI backupper, I use the free version at home, and the professionnal one in the office and it works much better, for a fraction of the price, than most other softwares I've tried.

I haven't worked yet with the Partition Manager, but it'll be my next software when I need to move my stuff :)

I'm glad it helped :)

Maybe virtualize the shit out of your massive home server setup?
PDH!

Ryzen 5 CPUs are out of stock everywhere
:glare:
Amazon.com shows 3600 and 5600 in stock.  No idea on the price, though, I haven't compared anywhere.

Yeah, those are price gougers.  I only pay MSRP for stuff.

ugh.  I just checked the prices on Newegg Canada for a Ryzen 5 5600x,  559$ CAN.  My office system in whole, with a 1st gen Ryzen 5 costed me less than that, I think :P
But, hey, they got one in stock, so you might rush and pay the price  gouger while it lasts :P
Alternatively, I would suggest watching E-bay for older generation Ryzen 7.  There might be people insane enough to buy a CPU at such a price and willing to offload their old one.

At this point I'm going to wait for the Rocket Lake launch and see how that goes.  No matter what I want PCIe 4.0, so I wouldn't do a Comet Lake build, and like I said the supply of the Zen 3 chips is total shit right now so can't proceed with an AMD build. :glare:

Early Rocket Lake reviews are crap.

I finally just went ahead and preordered a Ryzen 5 5600X on Amazon.  It will supposedly ship on April 1st.

..and it's here. :)

Ok, tonight I'm going to finish a draft buildout and I'll post it here, and then start working to acquire the other parts.

You gotta love shipping departments not giving a shit about what marketing or procurement thinks.

I hope you are ricing it up with LED's and some cool logos!
PDH!
