Desktop computer ordered on 9/11/17

Rhymes with blur. This is not a Common Murre, though black and white, this one is flightless.

Replacement for Laysan. I just wanted more RAM and ended up replacing everything but the drives!


Hardware

9/15/17 Up and running, these parts ported from Laysan:

  • WDC Black 500GB NVME
  • 2 x Seagate Barracuda SATA 3.0 in RAID 0, mounted at D:
  • Nvidia Quadro 2000D video card

These parts ordered 9/11/17

  • ASUS TUF X299 Mark 2 motherboard (Warranty 5 year)
  • Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X 10 core CPU (Warranty 3 year)
  • Cooler Master "MasterLiquid Lite 120" liquid CPU cooler with one 120mm fan (Warranty 3 year)
  • 64 GB RAM G.Skill TridentZ (4x16) DDR4 3200 (leaves 4 slots free) (Lifetime warranty)
  • Seasonic SS-750KM3 750W 80plus Gold modular power supply (Warranty 7 year)
  • Fractal Designs Meshify C case

Software

Printing

First I installed the Brother drivers from their site. Then used the CUPS IPP printer, by typing it into Windows: http://192.168.123.2:631/printers/brother_hll2320d and then specifying the correct driver in the Windows wizard.

Operating system

Windows 10 Home, Full version installed on NVME

I was tired of not being able to get full use of that video card due to restrictions caused by running under VirtualBox. I will still run Linux in VirtualBox when I needed it.

In preparation I "deauthorized" ArcGIS 10.5 Desktop on Laysan, and according to this guide I just have to march through the Windows 10 "reactivation" procedure that I went through a month ago when I accidentally made changes to the VirtualBox machine. In this case it required calling the 855- number and reading the 70 digit number to a human. Then a robot gave me the secret reactivation code.

I am frustrated at the notion of installing native Windows 10 when my Parallels + Windows 7 combination on my Mac works so well. C'est la guerre.

Everything else

  • ActiveState Komodo? or Spyder? or Visual Code?
  • Adobe Acrobat DC
  • Docker for Windows
  • ESRI ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro
  • Libreoffice 5
  • Microsoft Visual Studio? Visual Code?
  • Miniconda version of Anaconda? Visual Code instead?
  • OwnCloud Client
  • Oracle VirtualBox?
  • Postgres PGadmin 4
  • Synology Cloud Station Client
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu on Windows, almost a miracle) which includes
    • bash
    • emacs
    • ssh client
    • rsync

With WSL installed you can

  • sudo apt install emacs
