Middle sg330 runs opnsense/adguard/suricata at home. Bottom one runs Windows 10 as a backup pc/ media server. My movie/music collection is on a qnap nas/external raid, which have well known security issues.I've never had a problem though.Apart from the security, probably most useful thing for home use is adguard. Gets rid of all the home screen crap on smart TV's, just leaving the menu. Also good for Tapatalk....The sophos units are overkill though, all you need is a basic box with 2 network ports. If you're going to run suricata/adguard/multiple vpns etc and/or have gigabit nbn you'll be needing something better.I'd run sophos, but it's incredibly expensive. Fortinet is also good, but even more expensive. Don't buy a s/h fortinet box as they're locked down and not easily opened up, the hardware is excellent though.I bought the sophos xg as I want to run sfp vdsl modems which don't play well with the on board sfp ports on the sg series. They work, but sync is 20% less than it should be. They are ok in sfp+ ports on expansion modules, but they are hard to get and expensive. The xg has on board sfp and sfp+ ports, so hopefully will be all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 256gb card for emulatiors - should be able to play old games up to and including nintendo switch games - Zelda here we come I'll throw a 512gb or 1tb SSD in it eventually but not needed yet. Saves me lugging my lappy to work - USB C to the monitor at work and I've got a full windows 11 desktop with mouse/keyboard and all my programs etc setup. Will look at one of the stand alone LCD monitors with inbuilt battery and I won't be lugging so much gear around. Headed into the high country for an extended long weekend next weekend and leaving the lappy home - the deck should give me all I need. Will try a bit of photo/video/drone editing on it to put it through its paces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks heaps cleaner and fark me did some sh*t come out of the 360mm CPU cooler radiator. Still 4790k @ 4.7 with 3080ti, 32gb 2400mhz DDR3 ram running a 144hz 1440p monitor lol. I might upgrade one day but it still does what I need it to so why bother?! Edited 30/09/24 09:08 AM by Puffwagon Muh spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will run the PG279Q till they die probally. Used to be a 4770k with 2x GTX 780's. More recently a 12600k & 3080 both on water self contained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes alright on the corner of the desk with this crappy old/cheap adjustable laptop stand thingo with an old keyboard and modern-ish mouse (bought it as top-of-the-new-line back in 2015 😮 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/?do=findComment&comment=1555186). 2560x1600 (same as 1440p but in a 16:10 ratio) laptop (had to turn off the 165Hz on the laptop to put it down to 60Hz or it flickers a bit too much comparatively to the 60Hz 4K monitor... not a big deal as I've barely noticed the difference since doing it) + 3840x2160 (4K 2160p 16:9) FTW! Doubled the wobbly problems, but that got fixed later on as per further discussion in the CSYJB thread. Now of course the laptop stand and keyboard situation needs to be rectified...
