This is a pretty good deal. I upgraded the memory a bit and want to upgrade the hard drive as it’s a bit small. But the unit doesn’t have multiple drive connectors, so I need to back it all up and restore to a larger driver.

Combined with gSender, this is a nice addition to my CNC.

Commandé avec la CNC , ce PC fait le job , je trouve dommage que la connectique USB ne soit qu’au nombre de 4 , 1 clavier , 1 souris , 1 dongle Joystick , et il ne reste qu’1 port pour une clé USB , certes l’écran est tactile , avec le clavier , mais pour l’instant je n’y suis pas trop habitué . J’ai bien essayé un HUB USB à 4 ports , mais j’ai eu des comportements inattendus . Je dois m’y pencher dessus car j’ai peut-être mal fait quelque chose . Par ailleurs je trouve la configuration un peu limite , peut-être parce que je suis habitué à mon PC gamer gonflé à bloc , mais par exemple une simulation de parcours d’outil avec FUSION 360 fait souvent planter l’application. Pour le reste GSENDER déjà installé , permet de travailler de suite avec la CNC et ça j’ai beaucoup apprécié.
