House server "brick" from atom with 1G to Xeon x3220 with 8G and a mobo that has SATA2. It now doesn't fall to it's knees when indexing things in elasticsearch or when you glance at it. I'm over my super low power phase, It needs to be able to get shit done...

Desktop to 8G RAM, it now plays BF4 much more reasonably.

Today I spent a bit of time stripping down the TV boards that I salaved. I was looking for the flybacks (mainly), but also saved some high voltage transistors and diodes from the TV boards.
