Anyone getting the desktop fatigue? I'm planning to take apart my Xeon rig and sell it piecemeal since no one will buy a second-hand custom built desktop. I hope I can get about 20% of what I put into it 2 years ago....

In the future remember rpi and odroid.
Nice rig with decent specs for gaming, cluster of arm devices for servers and filestore.
Almost no power draw, even if 24/7
As for your rig, you're fucked unless you can find a friend or someone specialized to sell it to.
Maybe on this board?

Sell it piece by piece. Make an ad for it on ebay or something. Alternatively, something I've done before, contact a local seller on ebay or amazon that is selling used parts that are similar to yours and see if they will buy it off of you for around half or 2/3 of its worth. You might sell your whole system at once like this if you're lucky.
Just selling the parts at all is the issue, since no one wants your used shit. Take what you can get as quickly as possible.

l2read, even then 50% is wishful thinking.

So the only things we’re left with that aren’t practically completely silent are case fans and a GPU which doesn’t run all the time. I’ll buy the rest of your arguments. Maybe you are the market for all these mini/NUC units that are being offered, I personally don’t see the appeal.

Wow. How about getting something modern that will not have any of those problems?

Invest on a case with better acoustics, a quieter PSU and quieter refrigeration system.
>bulky
You can solve this by buying small form factor cases.

Make sure you have tuned your power settings to the appropriate level for your current task.
>Xeon
At work some departments have dual xeon systems and they are very quiet except when people start rendering stuff and the GPU fans go up.

i don't use my desktop computer too much during summer. it's not loud though, i have huge 120mm twin tower cpu cooler, gpu cooling modified to use normal high-profile low-rpm fans, and proper case. Quiet enough.

that's why you don't sell old tech but rather preserve it as mementos for your grandkids

Pay only 50% more than a few years ago for RGB!
>fanless PSU
Lasts less longer than a normal PSU, costs more
Sorry user but that was just stupid.
Still the only reason I stopped using my desktop and using my Thinkpad more was because I was so limited as to where I could use it.
