When I built my son's latest Gamer Box, I didn't know what to do with the old one. I was surprised when I realized I installed my first NVMe M2. SSD into it. The Asus Motherboard, CPU, etc., was also upgradable to Windows 11.
My wife's Desktop PC ( she also has a Laptop & an iPad), which I built as well is going to time out on Windows 10 in October as it's not upgradable. So my plan is to switch it out for the old Gamer Box with Windows 11 Pro, the Archer TXE72E AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 PCIe Adapter, and a Bluetooth Wireless Mouse & Keyboard to clean up the cabling as she hates wires. It's a Logitech (920-008219) MK850 Bluetooth Optical Ergonomic Keyboard & Mouse Combo that I got for 1/4 of list price. ($30 vs $119)
The TXE72E will also allow me to loose the LAN Cable while achieving close to it's performance. My only remaining Question is do I put it all into her smaller case, or leave it in the old (larger and quieter) Gamer Box. She won't use the power of the old gamer rig but it will more than meet her needs for web surfing, emails, and the odd spreadsheet.
I haven't told her about this little project, and want to surprise her when it's done.
