"My old Linux PC
Let me first say a few words about my old Linux computer.
I bought it in 2014 and it was before I even considered creating YouTube videos. I mainly aimed for a bargain price, compact size, and Linux compatibility. I was able to achieve that with these parts:
CPU: Intel Core i3 4330 3,5GHz Intel HD Graphics 4600 $99
RAM: Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport $68
Motherboard: MSI H81I Motherboard Socket 1150 $67
SSD: Intel 530 SSD 120G $56
HDD: WD Black 750GB 2.5” HDD 7200RPM SATA $65
Case: Antec Case ISK110 VESA Mini-ITX 90W $75
I have been very happy with this build. I paid only $430 and it served me for 6 years. I had no Linux compatibility issues whatsoever despite trying many different Linux distros on this hardware. I also successfully used it to create and edit over 100 videos on my YouTube channel.
It still works fine even for video editing. The only problem is when I edit a video, Kdenlive fills in almost all 8G of RAM and I can not run any other apps. This affected my productivity because I often need to run VirtualBox and record some video parts while I am editing a video. So, I started to feel the lack of RAM. Video rendering was also quite long because of the low-end processor. I also almost run out of HDD space and there are no additional slots for HDDs in this small factor case.
So, I have decided it is time to upgrade"...
