I know it’s overkill but hey why not. I build a test bench pc for usage as a render station for my 3D works with Cinema 4D. The PC was first only linked to my 4K TV for streaming and some management. Never had I really the intention to use the PC as a media hub but it slowly turned into one.
The core is basically running 24/7 and the Dell display is always showing a fullscreen representation of the “now playing” screen. I use my laptop and phone to control my media.
PC
MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon
AMD Threadripper X1950
32GB Ram
512GB SSD for Win 10
2x 4TB HD (one offline for backup)
GTX 1060 linked to Sony 4K Android TV and Dell 25inch 1440P U2518D monitor
Logitech MX Ergo and K380 for input
Asus Blue Cave router (45m2 apartment)
Connection 500Mbit download / 50Mbit upload
HiFi
Hitachi HCA and HMA 6500
Davone Mojo on stands
OTG devices
Alienware 17 R4 maxed out

Now I’m only wondering if it’s worth to add a tablet to this setup for “lazy” listening on the sofa.
