I built a new desktop PC last year, which is what I usually call BBSes from. Currently, my desktop has an Intel i9-9900k processor, Nvidia RTX 2070 Super I run my BBS on a second PC, which is an older one I built in 2012 - It has

My board(s) are running on an Intel NUC. It has a dual core i5 w/
8GB of RAM & a 128GB SSD. I'm running Windows 10 32bit, so only
3.40GB of the RAM is usable.
Just curious. What are you not running the 64-bit version of Windows
and the BBS under a VM on that?
The NUC isn't doing anything other than the BBS, so it's not like it's taxed at all.
I've also seen VESA mounts for NUCs so you can mount them onto the
back of a PC monitor if you wanted (as long as the monitor has a
space for a mount).
I'd want a NUC that's powerful enough to do media streaming along with running my BBS..
So what sort of rig do you BBS, work, browse or game on? I have only just began
using the bulletin boards however I use an old Macintosh Plus (upgraded from an
old '84 128K) with a terminal programme called Red Ryder to get online. I use a
WiFi 232 connector known as Retro WiFi SI from Simulant to get this thing to connect to my broadband at 1200 baud. It's a great experience so far. I'd love
an Apple IIe or something similar with a gorgous green text CRT such as the Apple II/III monitor to go with it. Wouldn't that be a great machine to BBS on?
My main machine is a ASUS Zephyrus GX501 laptop with an i7-8750H coupled with a
GTX1080 Max-Q. It's quite a powerhouse and run everything at 1080p60 ultra.
Other than that, I have an original PS4, an XboxONE X and a NIntendo Switch Lite.

I run my BBS on a second PC, which is an older one I built in 2012 - It has an Intel i5-2500 CPU, 16GB RAM, and it's currently running Linux Mint 20 (64-bit), with the BBS running in a Windows 7 32-bit VM. (I'm running a Plex media server and a couple other things from the Linux host OS.)
