Ok, here are two PC systems I am using for testing purposes. Both are very cheap builds, assembled mostly from PC leftovers or very low cost used computer parts that I tracked down locally.
BTW, It takes a separate post about my adventures of getting vintage "pcparts" for my projects. So stay tuned for more in the future.
As you can see below, I am using only AMD systems for now. But Intel platforms are not excluded and will join the testing rigs sooner or later.
