You got the same? Cool. That thing runs for two days around the clock here. I got 20-25°C in the night and today we have 35°C at day 
This piece is really very useful

I took this (the PC, “in pieces” obviously and assembled by myself):
The remaining pieces needed to make a secondary PC that would let me use my old nvidia 980ti.
In addition to the video card, I also had a couple of 1 tb ssds that were not used. So I just had to get a power supply, a case, the motherboard, the ram and the cpu. All not too expensive pieces obviously, I spent about 300/350 euros for all those pieces.
The PC configuration is:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 @3.6 GHz (6 cores / 12 threads - am4)
GPU: Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming 6 GB GDDR5
RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 32GB DDR4 3600 MHz CL18 (2x16 GB)
MOTHERBORAD: ASUS PRIME B450M-K II (micro ATX)
POWER SUPPLY: MARSGAMING MPB650SI 650W
CASE: MUSETEX K2
HDD: 2 x 1TB SSD
I did it to use my old 980ti with ai. With easy diffusion and krita ai mainly (even if I also installed ollama and some llm models, I think I will also install lm studio, which tells you which models are good based on your hardware).
Unfortunately, however, I was not able to use my 980ti with easy diffusion and krita ai on linux (whatever the distribution), they would fail even when installing the closed drivers. So unfortunately I had to give up and put windows 11 back, where krita ai and easy diffusion work well with my old video card.
Having two ssd, maybe I could try to install eos in the free one and understand how to use my old video card on linux and on endeavouros, rather than on windows, with your help, because I was not able to do it alone. But for this maybe I will open a separate thread.

I needed a new PC chair, but thought long and hard on if I wanted to buy a 100-200 dollar chair and continue the few year replacement chair game or invest in something that has an 12 year warranty. I sat in an model of this chair and in a matter of seconds I fell in love with it. The only thing I customized/chose was the wheels (carpet + hard floor), fabric and color.
The chair is Herman Miller Embody.
The desk speakers are the Edifier M60.

Wow. Had a quick look at https://destore.hermanmiller.com/products/embody-office-chair. That thing looks so ergonomic and comfy, and some things adjustable other chairs lack. Wish I could afford one of these, unfortunately they cost nearly 2k€ here.
Enjoy and let us know if it’s really that good!

I have that chair, and a recliner positioned differently, the chair for the PC, and the recliner near the chair, but facing a large TV/PC monitor. Whenever I sit in the Embody, It is incredibly comfortable. When I leave that and sit in the recliner, my lower back feels like it’s brand new with no issues. It’s like a back renewer/reliever.
I find its adjustability to be well and thorough.

I keep eyeballing an Embody. Up for a chair renewal, might just go ahead with it. I also really like the Aeron I have at work.
Hello, if there is a place near you that sells them, that has models you can try, I’d look into that too. The place I got mine from did, and they also had the Aeron on the floor to try. I’m more of an solid chair guy, work form I guess you can call it, from an comfort standpoint.
What I found was that I wasn’t fond of the Aeron, which then I tried the Embody. I had a guy who worked there adjust the parts that I felt needed and eventually the spot was found.
I will say that at the top of the chair the top left and top right ends/corners sort of curve in towards you, but only where your shoulders are. For my height, 5’9 my shoulders rested right under them. I think that’s why I loved it so much and thought that it fit me perfectly, height wise at least.
Side note, there exists an Atlas Headrest for the gaming and non gaming versions of this chair that I’ve heard can mitigate that if your taller by being in front of those top ends.

i like the speakers. And just find out that they have a touch panel. Really nice.
I think they will perfectly fit with the FiiO K7 BT (still on my buy list 
)

I do like the touch panel myself. It detects my hand before I press anything and lights up the sensor spots.

Only coming back to this now, apologies! 
Haven’t been doing much gaming on it tbh, that’s mostly been Windows recently.
However I did manage to get World of Warcraft running on it yesterday, and performance seems to be equal to Win11 Pro at least, which is good.
Haven’t installed any Steam games as yet either - been busy playing Clair Obscur in Windows when I’m not playing WoW 
Finished it a day or two ago, so diving back into Linux again, and starting to customise my plasma setup to make it a bit better looking than default
please unfoil it
