Hey all
I have a deskmini a300 running with a ryzen 4750g by using a hacked bios. I upgraded the external power supply to a 120 Watt Asus PA-1121-28 for the demands of the power hungry 8 core cpu.
Since the rtx 3500 can draw all it's power from the motherboard, could i, with a m.2 to pcie cable, a case mod and an even more powerfull external power supply use the Deskmini with the rtx 3500? If not, explain me why.
If you wonder why i ask, here is the backstory.
I was homeless with no income or money for 2 years after i got booted by social security because i negelected everything such as studies and work. I was depressed and hated everything.
Eventually i came into contact with squaters, they learned me allot.
They gave me tips how to find empty houses.
They learned me how to break and repair locks.
They learned me how to feed myself by dumpsterdiving grocery store containers.
They educated me about squaters rights, preventing illegal evictions and making it so i could stay longer in the houses i squated. Where i live squaters have the same rights as people who rent and because of that can only get evicted by a non-criminal court. Squating is a complaint crime, similar to making too much noise at night.
I tried some jobs but could not keep them because of the uncertain housing conditions.
But then i got aluded to the drug side of squating. I suddenly had all the connection for cheap premium stuff and allot of clients(friends, people i met at uni and hanging around in the city when i was younger).
I started with 350 euro and made over 10k in 4 months with over 4k of drugs lying around by running a one man delivery service via Wickr.
Then i got burned out and started using ketamine and lots of benzos to get around the stress off dealing. Things where going to fast.
Then i started shooting ketamine, snorting mephedrone, and eating Valium like candy. Got delusional. Spended alI my money and sold all my valuable tech and computer stuff, except for the deskmini. I have big holes in my memory from that time period.
I remember waking up on the ground in my squat with everything gone. I was not able to form words or think clearly for over 5 says.
Now i am way better, i live with my so but since then covid happend and rent prices exploded. So we poor af but i am atleast happy, in a stable situation and not a druggy anymore.
My and my so are both into tech and gaming. The laptop of my so is not functioning anymore This would be the cheapest way to play modern games together using multiseat and even AAA titles.
Thanks for reading
