I just bought new personal computer for creative activity. The base computer is a little bit old but enough specification for my activity. Mostly with Blender and Music composition. This machine does not have any discrete GPU so I bought Nvidia Quadro P620. It has enough power (about 1.2 TFLOPS with floating point and 2GB of memory). I’m amazed it cosumes about 40W at this specification. Once upon time I had HD6850 its had almost same spec but it cousumed more than 100W and it was really hot when I played some Video Games.
I use N100 mini compute before this environment. It had enough CPU power but I found that it lacks of GPU power so I decide to invest new machine. I didn’t want spend more a lot of money to buy the latest rigs. I sure that they cost me about more than 1,000$. In Japanese Yen it costs about 150,000 Yen (it more than half of my monthly income).
My new workstation costs less than 20,000 Yen. It’s an affordable price. Also I neet to take account in the soaring energy price. To mitigate his problem I also consider to adding peak shift techniques like using a combinaiton with strings of LiFePO4 batteries (24V) and correspoing inverters. I think I can get them also less than 20,000 Yen.
The following few monthes will make myself out of confort zone because there gonna a lot change in my personal life. These chunk of time prompts me have a lot of choice I need to face. It’s absolutely the source of distraction. The thing is how I can stay in deep and flow state to excert my creativity.
The important thing I need to take myself account is not to regret what I have done and it7s consequeses…
