To Run debian Linux - PCPartPicker Recipe;
*** Thx for the
tip.
If you're not planning on adding a video card, you
can save some money by getting a case with 300W power supply.
*** Good point. Could
definitely save some money here. Agree that the power supply is over-specified.
But this intentional, being in keeping with the 24_7 service duty ethos for the
new PC. And I do want the expandability readily available with this larger power
supply.
*** According to the PCPartPicker website, the
current build recipe needs a maximum of around 170 W. So my reasonong is to
allow for expansion bringing a doubling of the maximum power load, and still
leave the power supply operating at only 66 percent of its maximum output
capacity.
*** Also I understand that there can be a
significant dropoff in quality and reliability with power supplies of
maximum output less than around 550 W.
Alex.

Greetings To
GTALUG,
At long last I have created a final build recipe for my new
desktop PC to run debian Linux. Replacing an ancient Dell PC running WIndows
XP:
The configuration is an Asus LGA1151
socket motherboard with Intel i5-6500 CPU and 16 GB DDR4
memory..
A dialup modem remains to be added:
US Robotics USR5637 V.92 USB Faxmodem
Comments welcome.

My plan is to be ordering the parts by Friday
30 March or or Monday 2 April at the latest. The HP PS/2 keyboard and
HP PS/2 mouse are already ordered (from PC-Canada) but that order is still
on hold, pending addition of items to the order..
