I run QubesOS on Mini-ITX and I am very happy with my current setup so here are the parts with notes (where appropriate). CPU: i7-6800K. Virtualization is a workflow that scales pretty much linearly with the core count so there's really no reason to hold back here. Do NOT go for Ryzen until the Ryzen bug on older kernels is resolved RAM: Corsair LPX 32GB. Just like the CPU, sky is the limit here. GPU: Nvidia GTX 750TI. Bought it because it's small, quiet and consume little to no power. Do not buy Nvidia cards. Installing proprietary nvidia drivers in dom0 is a pain in the ass and nouveau is average at best. Also, due to lack of function level reset you'll lose video after resuming from sleep. Go for integrated or AMD (Even if you plan on gaming in a VM you should still buy an AMD card. Nvidia drivers crash when they detect they're being run in a virtual machine) MoBo: Asrock X99 mini-itx. Not much choice here since it's one of two X99 mini-itx mobos. Has an included cooler which is nice. Supports PCI-E bifurcation so if you ever feel like going really overboard you can install two full size gpus on a mini-itx board. Included Wi-Fi card (Broadcom BC4352) does not work out of the box. SSD: Samsung m.2 pro evo. Always go for M.2. Not only are they faster, the cable management gets 10x easier with those. Cooling: Cooler Master Seidon 120. One of few coolers compatible with this board. Keeps the six-core CPU below 30C on idle and below 60C on full load Case: Lian-Li TU100. Great office/workstation case. Terrible gaming case (due to lack of GPU cooling). Can be modded to be a great gaming case but unless you're willing to cut holes in it, you should look elsewhere. Also, check whether your keyboard supports PS/2 connection and if it does, plug it via PS/2. If not, buy a PS/2 compatible keyboard (most mechanical ones are). Just trust me, it simplifies things a lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
