My Computers - Garfield - Swiss Army Knife
This was my "everything else" computer. I would do my code, my web browsing, my email, my tinkering all here. This baby was built like a Tank. Don't mess with this fat kitty. Garfield was a near exact clone of my office computer. This made tele-commuting painless.
I retired Garfield in 2016 when the power supply in my server "Sonic" blew out. I made the decision to merge the two machines into one, combining the serving and workstation duties into one be-all/end-all Linux box. At that time I upgraded the HDD to 3TB so Plex had more room to store my DVR recordings.
