One of my two workstations died.
Good news is that it was the old Broadwell-E 6950X machine rather than my new Ryzen 9 5950X machine and the worn out NVMe SSD is still going strong so I haven't lost time needing to set everything up again.
Still not a good situation right now.

I'm going to need to prioritize building a replacement machine because it's important for both productivity and redundancy. I mirror the data from the one I'm using as the primary one to the other one to make sure I have another machine ready to go without restoring from backups.

I'd appreciate additional donations via github.com/sponsors/thest to help cover this unexpected expense.
Planned on making a substantial investment in a Zen 3 Threadripper machine but that's still vaporware so I need to build something temporary that I can use in the meantime...

PSU seems fine and is fairly new since I intended to use it in the next workstation.
I have an unused set of 4x 32GB DDR4 3600 thanks to Newegg screwing up a label resulting in Canada Post somehow losing it for 4 months. They found it and delivered it several months later...
