Here are some details of the desktop computer I am running at home right now. The most intensive graphics I do is to convert my old vintage racing movies from my 914-6 or the the ones on VHS from my bicycle racing days.

- Motherboard is an ASUS 970 Gaming Pro with 16GB of RAM.
- CPU is AMD 8 core.
- Video is a nVidia RTX 2060 with 3GB RAM feed into a 50 inch Vizio flat screen TV. I just upgraded the video from a nVidia GTX 1050 as it had sound failure and the $200 price at Walmart for that Vizio a month or so ago was too good to pass up. My daughter uses the 38 inch Vizio when she comes over from Phoenix to help with my wife and she works from home.
- Drives are a 1TB SSD drive for the OS and Office and video apps. 4x 3TB SATA drives for data, images, videos, ETC. 1x 8TB USB drives for backup nightly. The backup drive is in a holder with 3x USB ports on top of the desk, very handy.
- Wireless mouse, keyboard and webcam are all by logitech. Great company.

So why so much power and such? I can work on school with the webcam, listen to Youtube Korean music, process and VHS tape and still have screen space left and use about 60% powder and actually enjoy what I am doing!
