I did have a test run of it uploaded to my Google Drive, but these files are huge, so I deleted it to save space. Once it's complete and ready for distribution I'll post a link, but, and this is a big but, the system requirements are a bit on the high end:

That's kinda why I shelved it, but I think people with decent systems may still have a go at it. The software is geared towards architectural and engineering so having a higher end system is a requirement for most in the business if they want to stay competitive. It's supposed to be more of a collaboration tool, not really for 'games', although I've had a couple people comment on my work projects how they remind them of Fortnite. lol It's made from the same Unreal Engine 5 gaming platform.

New pc time for me but not as good as plankton
- Asus Chromebox CN60 Mini Desktop Intel Celeron 2GB Ram 16GB SSD HDMI Google OS

Was planning to go to the bedroom with the large screen but the tv doesn't fit on my table in there. So I'm taking this smaller screen back into the bedroom and hooking this new pc up to the big screen in the living room.

A whole working computer for $32 lol it's only 2GB of Ram so maybe I buy a computer screen and keep it as my bedroom. And then keep what I have here in the living room going.

Heck yeah, for $32 you can't get much better than that. 2GB of RAM though, that'd have me a bit flustered. I'd be constantly rebooting.

I realized that 2GB of ram might suck but it's an SSD too so I'm banking on that to be nice. It's only going to be used when I'm getting ready for bed. Not going to be editing videos or really spending that much time on it. I bought 2 64GB flash drives to back up my photos and videos.

Just went and got the tv/screen for it from my parent's store and I'm thinking it's going to be fine.

new mini pc right next to this^

Another component to consider is the 1.4Ghz processor, which isn't great but it should be fine for low resource things.

Thats what this has, I am hoping the thing it is okay for web surfin and youtube videos because I paid my mom $20 for the tv, so a whole setup for under $75 total is a win for me.
I just hope the built-in wifi is good too because that's a major thing for it to be able to connect to the web.

Your connection speed will be based on your ISP and the product/package you have. Wifi cards and adapters are pretty standard.

I'm guessing this is what you're getting:

That's fairly similar to the laptops I set up for RTD systems, which are just bare-bones for running some temperature detection software, and they're fine for surfing and vids, but they hit the RAM ceiling fairly easily.

Mindy · 10-13-2022, 12:13 PM

Yup thats the item^ Im just pumped it has a SD card slot, I have a 64gb micro sd card to load into it also.

Mindy · 10-17-2022, 01:36 PM

Got it all hooked up but just realized once it turned on that its not windows OS and it google stuff. Adblocker doesnt work on it too so I got some janky adblocker going that blocks "some" ads.

I think it's going to be fine though, especially for just $32
