I should have written that I shoot for 10 years. Realistically I end up replacing or upgrading components along the way, like adding more RAM, or an NVMe (although in this case I'm starting with NVMe sys drive, and RAID 1 NVMe x3 secondary storage so I can't get much faster than that with current tech. I designed it such that my read speeds off secondary storage will saturate my PCIe 3.0 bus.

This is why I built a Ryzen 5950x system. Best performance per watt. I am hoping power consumption will come down again before I need the next upgrade.

I'm looking for the best single core performance I can keep properly cooled, not the most efficient.
My i5 CPU slightly bests a 9xxx ryzen 7 on GCC benchmarks.

Always use the largest tower-case you can find that will work.
Not only will it provide a better aerated machine but make it much easier to work when building or maintaining the machine...

Nope. Towers mount the mobo vertical and thus suffer GPU sag. Also my thermaltake open-air chassis is quite good at cooling, and can fit a 4090 video card if I wanted to.
Towers waste space anyway. My little glass cube doubles as a shelf. =)

My son ordered a new high performance tower with liquid cooling for the CPU for game development, and I had to buy him a room air conditioner for it.

You will also need to renegotiate your terms-and-conditions with your energy company... unless you have your own power plant.

Am I the only one who's never heard of it until now?
Does anyone listen to it to block out distractions? I normally use white noise but this may also be as good...

Sounds vaguely familiar but could not name any examples, Wikipedia to the rescue!

If you like Lofi, also check out Vaporware.
(No, it means something entirely different with music as opposed to software.)
Cheers,

Looks promising!
The trick is to find something that itself doesn't become a distraction and isn't annoying. This may be it, I may give it a go...

About a week ago I spent around 20 minutes testing if I could tell the difference.
Which Face Is Real?
I had a perfect score, you just need to look really hard for pixel glitches. But I think the StyleGAN will eventually win, there were a few I couldn't tell the difference, was pure Luck I got some right. I guess the algorithms will continue to improve.

I think it already asks most of the questions in QA ...
