I put together a new Windows PC about 2 years ago. The single component
that seems to have made the biggest difference is a 250 GB solid-state
drive (SSD). The computer boots in about 20 seconds (OK, the I7
processor helps too), which is important to me since I don't like to
leave it on all the time. I also got a 1 TB conventional drive which I
use for backups.
One good thing about assembling a computer from components is that you
can install the OS without all the junk that the manufacturers like to
gum it up with.

Now that I have had my k3s on the air for a couple of months I'm
ready to interface it to a computer. I am planning on a dedicated PC
just for use in the shack. My only uses (that I can think of now) are
logging and control of the k3s, perhaps remotely at some point.
It seems to me an I7 processor of any speed would be adequate with a
500gb SSD and wifi capability to my LAN (I guess I could hard wire
this). What else do I need in the box in the way of
interconnectivity? Any need for a large amount of memory (>8gb)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
