Showcase ParaXY's secure desktop (NEO)

[ParaXY]

This custom desktop build is pushing 5yrs and is still amazingly fast. Started with Windows 7, then 8 (argh), 8.1, 10 Education and now 10 Enterprise.

It's been built to be secure, stable and quiet. I use VMware Workstation 12.5 on it for my work and studies and having the necessary memory and fast NVMe drive makes VM activities super quick.

I have done a UEFI install of Windows and use Secure Boot.

Really happy with this machine despite it getting on in age

Thank you! If I had to complain I wish I could add a TPM chip to it but this model of motherboard doesn't support it so I have to store my Bitlocker key on a USB flash drive.

What I find interesting about it is, despite it's age it's still amazingly quick!!

It's crap in comparison to NASA, but operating wise this runs better.

Agreed.

I was starting to have the occasional drop in FPS when playing 4K Youtube videos so ended up adding a dedicated GPU to my machine:

EVGA Geforce GTX 1050

Now 4K videos play like a champion...and even 8K videos play perfectly!
