Distro Delves PC Update

Introducing: Distro Delves PC Update rev 1.2

The original Distro Delves desktop machine was cobbled together by the spare parts I had laying around, mostly 2014-era components.

Distro Delves Rig Rev 1.2

I didn’t really know where Distro Delves was going to go when I built that PC so many of the components were mismatched and just kind of weird.

For episode 20, I decided to “upgrade” or standardize the Distro Delves rig a bit. Most of the components are the same, but here is the new standard rig now:

• CPU: AMD A8–7600 “Kaveri”
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 750 ti (used to be a GT 730)
• 8GB Patriot Viper 3 (used to be 16gb)
• ADATA 120gb ssd (used to be a 2019 era Samsung ssd)

The product links in this post are affiliate links because — why not?

The goal of this “upgrade” was to make the Distro Delves rig more aligned to what a regular desktop user would be using in 2015ish — a very average desktop PC.
