Aney's Hardware

My everyday tech

This is what I use basically every day. It's either at my desk, in my bag, or within arms reach.

Daily Driver

Steam Deck

My everyday driver is now a SteamDeck, as I'm doing reduced work with development, and VMs at home, and instead opting for some more gaming. I've yet to use it as a laptop, so if it's non-functional for minor "out-of-office" server fixes, etc. I'll need to rethink this.

Gaming PC

Red, a custom built machine sporting an R5 2600X, 16GB RAM, a 500GB EVO 970 NVME, and a Vega 64. This is my only device running Windows.

I currently still have this to play Windows exclusive games/games without Linux Anti-Cheat enabled (Smite namely) with friends. Once HiRez sort their shit, it's gone.

Media Consumption

TV

A basic non-smart TV from the good ol' days. I got it for my 16th Birthday, around 10 years ago.

Fire TV Stick 4K

Since my TV is useless alone, and I don't watch traditional television, this is plugged in to give me access to Netflix, Amazon Video, and Jellyfin.

Amazon Echo 4

I don't use this for anything other than playing music. It stays next to the TV waiting for me to say "Alexa, play We like to party, by the Vengaboys."

Amazon Echo 3

Same as above, but this one's upstairs so the music plays uninterupted through the house

Servers

lilman

An HP 290 G1 MT, with an i5-7500, and 32GB RAM. This is my primary server, acting as my virtualisation host, NAS, adBlock, and media server. It also runs git, my game servers, and anything else I feel like hosting at the time. A consideration is upgrading to a 7700/7700K, but energy concerns have me thinking of switching to RPIs for a while, then rebuilding some current-gen beast in the coming years.

Unused/Spares

Besides what I've listed, I also have the following PCs;

I use these for one-off testing, and projects, but they are not permanent fixtures in my day-to-day life.
