My new desktop
==============

Today I finally installed my new desktop computer. It's not the final
configuration I shall have, there will be some minor upgrades in 
(I hope) not so distant future. But still, I'm pretty excited, 'cause
I have been waiting for this machine almost two years.

So, what is it?

* Raptor CS Blackbird
* 8-core POWER9 CPU, 32 threads
* 32 GB DDR4 ECC REG RAM
* nVidia Geforce 210
* LG DVD-RW burner
* Seasonic Focus+ Gold 650W PSU
* Void Linux PPC + Xfce

As for storage I now have an old 64GB OCZ Agility4 SATAIII SSD. It's
almost funny that my storage is just twice the size of RAM, but 
I sold all the better SSDs I had to get the money for the Blackbird
itself and as I plan to buy at least 1 TB NVMe SSD, it will probably
be some time, until I'll have the right amount of cash.

The machine is wonderful. It's fast, it's silent, it's open. 
I'm over the moon with it.
