I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I’m using as a file server, but I’m working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.

Stop looking at big cases. You can build a small form factor PC in a case that’s a quarter the size of a mid tower case. You can literally put the computer in your luggage and take it with you when you move.

I’m not sure how you’re getting to $2000 in your build price either. A radeon 7900 GRE is an incredible 2k gaming card for ~$550, and your video card should typically be about half the price of your build.

Yeah, my current wireless headset with a USB dongle has great quality for both sound and mic. But I have limited USB A ports on my motherboard, so I’m trying to move to purely Bluetooth to free up the USB port. Bluetooth sound output on a headset works fine, the only open question I have is Bluetooth sound input quality, because I can’t find any useful information after a couple of hours of searching about dedicated microphone devices and their audio quality over Bluetooth.

I don’t want both at the same time.

I’m happy with my Bluetooth headphones doing just audio out with no mic.

I’m trying to figure out if I get a different dedicated Bluetooth mic, will it actually be decent mic quality over Bluetooth, or will it be the same garbage mic quality I get when coming from a headset+mic combo?

Great stuff. Thanks!

Do you need to run the Intel cards with an Intel CPU to get the quick sync benefits? I upgraded my desktop last year and am going to convert my old Ryzen 5600x system to … something. Not sure what yet though. Just working on my options.
