NOTE: This is a work in progress and I am keeping log of my work to better troubleshoot...
I am now following the Open Core Install Guide to create a TRX40 debug boot drive. While in the past I have used pre-built SSDT's for much simpler systems, I imagine this time around I will need to learn...
Okay I am booted into Linux and am in the process of identifying the hardware....

Case wise, I understand that this 2006-era case is limited as compared to the modern Lian-Li and Corsair cases of my most recent server builds but perhaps its Volkswagen air-cooled type2 transporter bus...
This time last year I was closely following the x670E AM5 work of CaseySJ and others of this forum and intended on participating but the components I had access to were used for a Linux web-server. I am glad there is interest and enthusiasm for this TRX50 endeavor and rest assured, I have on...
I am intending on building a new workstation. I have a 7960x AMD Ryzen Zen 4 Threadripper. The motherboard available in my local area is a Gigabyte TRX50 AERO D and I also have an AMD 6800 XT gpu from a previous MacOS build. Thoughts?
