I've looked in the port and can't see any physical damage, so who knows. The DisplayPort output is fine so I use an adapter to HDMI when I want to hook it into my telly.
The USB-C port is dead dead.

The killer nic is basicly a intel nic but rebranded.
If your optane is a m.2 i would swapnit with another ssd.
There is no point accerating a ssd.

You very likey could run linux it just would take a little bit. to setup optimus.

Thats quite close to what I had for several years except i had a 4770.

My laptop has:

CPU: Intel i7-11800H
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB SSD, 5TB Seagate external hard drive
OS: Windows 10 Home

My desktop PC has:

CPU: Intel i5-9400F
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1660 Super
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB Samsung QVO 870 SSD, 1TB Seagate hard drive, another 1TB Seagate hard drive, 8TB Seagate external hard drive
OS: Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Dual-Booted)

Gaming PC:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3 3700x
RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
SSD: No idea, 1TB
OS: Windows 10, soon gonna be dualbooted with Zorin

It's a prebuilt, I got it on sale at Micro Center, it is the PowerSpec G707, and I've had it for about a year.

Other PC:
CPU: Intel Core i5
RAM: 8GB DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730
SSD: KingFast 256GB
OS: Windows XP

It's a crappy Dell Optiplex computer I also picked up refurbished and on sale at Micro Center for around $100.

CPU: Intel i7-9700K (Cooled with Cooler Master Hyper 212)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (EVGA XC Ultra Gaming)
RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200
Storage: 1TB SATA M.2 SSD (WD Blue), 2TB 2.5" SSD (Samsung 860 QVO)
PSU: Corsair RM750x
MB: Asus Prime Z390-A
Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow

I mainly use this for gaming, but I'm planning on upgrading this for streaming purposes, and just to have more storage cause I can't get enough of it. This originally had an i5-9600K and an RTX 2060 Super, but I've since upgraded and gave the GPU to my best friend when his 980 Ti died on him.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Main dev PCs

Dev PC 1: M1 Mac Mini
Dev PC 2: Custom-built tower, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x + 64 GB RAM + RTX 2060 6gb + 500GB NVMe boot SSD + 1 TB gamedev/Steam Library SSD + two 4TB HDDs, one for redundancy

TrueNAS file server:

AMD A10-7700K APU, GT 1030, 16GB DDR3 RAM, a crapton of old hard drives lying around. This used to be my main gamedev PC from 2015 to 2020.

Laptops:

One crappy Lenovo touch screen laptop I use for testing games on low-end hardware occasionally (not sure the exact specs but they're crappy). I also have an ASUS ROG 15 inch gaming laptop that I bought for college, but then the pandemic happened and we never had in-person classes.

That gaming laptop has 16 GB RAM, an RTX 2060 Max-Q, and an AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS, and a 1TB NVMe SSD.

Misc.:

- 256gb model Steam Deck
- Some AWOW mini-PC I bought off Amazon that I used as a test server, 6GB of RAM, some crappy Celeron processor, 128 GB SSD.
- Samsung M7 smart monitor. It runs an OS, you can hook a keyboard/mouse on it, and can run unsigned code on it via an OpenGL SDK. It counts as a computer in my eyes.

I......think I have way too many computers.

Hows using the m1 mac for development do you have a apple paid developer id to bypass the issues with singing or did you do some other hacky thing to let it run unsigned code.

also I have far to many computers as well. I think at last count i had like 15.

I develop with Unity so don't need to worry about that. At least I haven't had any issues even with standalone builds of games uploaded to Steam. Types of games I work on also aren't graphically demanding so it runs them well top.

My main setup is so underrated

Cpu: Intel Pentium III 450 MHz
Ram: micron SDRAM 128 + 2x64 125 MHz
Gpu: Voodoo 3 2000 PCI + ATI Rage Pro AGP
Storage: SD to IDE, 64 Go
Mobo: Optiplex GX1 450MTbr+
CD drive: Samsung SW-248
OS: Windows 98 SE with Microsoft Plus! 98
Network : 3Com 3c90x Ethernet Controller
Case: dell GX1 big boi minitower

I also have a dell 7010 with a rx480 and 12 go of ddr3 and a MacBook Air M1

• OS: Windows 10 Pro x86_64

• Host: HP HP EliteBook 840 G3

• Resolution: 1920x1080

• CPU: Intel i5-6300U (4) @ 2.500GHz

• GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 520]GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 520

• Memory: 7847MiB

Yeah I know its pretty horrible, not that bad, it just cant run games that have actually good graphics.

I got a more 'civilized' setup
CPU: intel core i5 4460 (i think)
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050TI
RAM 8 gb
Storage: 1tb M.2 and 1 tb HDD
OS Win 10

i've got a M.2 pci express adapter, plus i had to modify my bios to get it working as a boot drive

Reading all of this makes me jealous of random stranger's PC's, since I will never be able to afford anything like this.

I have a Dell Optiplex 3010.
