Station KA1GYB Computer System.

November 2017 saw a major upgrade of the computer system at KA1GYB.

I decided to purchase a gaming computer which would combine flexibility and power.  I contacted CyberpowerPC and requested a full system built around an Intel Core i7 8th Generation.  This has 6 cores with 12 virtual cores @ 3.70 GHZ clock speed.  I never over-clock my CPUs since this may result in higher performance but it significantly diminshes the life of the CPU.  The mainboard utilizes 64 GB of core RAM along with a 1 TB m.2 SSD root drive.  The computer makes use of approximately 8 TB of SSD storage space (3 TB external backup SSD) and 1 TB standard HDD backup.  The computer features dual sound cards which is necessary for utilizing the FREEDV digital SSB voice mode.  

The video system is built around the EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 TI video card which is fully VR capable.  Below you will see several pictures of the computer.
