I do mini PCs and USB hard drives. More frequently accessed stuff and smaller files (think music, pictures, documents, backup repositories) resides in about 6TB of SSD storage. The only way you could go cheaper is probably raspberry pis or something but they’re not nearly as good in terms of compute for the money.

My brother has a 240hz monitor so I decided to play around with some CS on it on different refresh rates to see if I could notice any difference. And yeah, back to back 144hz to 240hz you notice *something* but it’s really hard to say I can make use of that extra information and every step above 140hz is really hard to notice any difference at all. It’s only barely noticeable when you jump from 140hz to 240hz in one step. In fact even after 90hz taking 10hz steps it already doesn’t feel like a big improvement after 90hz and it rapidly becomes less noticeable after 100hz.
