Just a basic workstation. It's all going into a Lian Li PC-A04 box. I'm looking to install four drives with different operating systems: Debian, FreeBSD, Dragonfly, and OpenBSD. If FreeBSD will run off a CPU, Dragonfly should also, and if OpenBSD doesn't, I can always install that into an older Dell Optiplex 980 desktop. Thanks for the nudge.
