Greetings To GTALUG Members,

The desktop PC I built from parts in late 2017 is dying.

Looks like the ASRock E97 EXTREME ATX LGA1150 mainboard is failing. I get various mainboard error messages at power on and today got some linux boot panics before a final power on booted the Debian 11 linux live on USB.

Looks like ASRock no longer makes the E97 EXTREME ATX LGA1150 mainboard and anyway, since I built this computer in late 2017, it's already seen over 7 years of heavy usage. So I will buy a new one.

There is one disk drive in the PC that I will move to the new PC: Western Digital 3.5 inch SATA 2TB.

Recommendations for a new desktop PC to run Debian linux booting live from USB port, would be appreciated.
