in a computer to run a CNC. My biggest problem with getting into CNCis the purchase of a Windows computer. We've been a Mac household for probably 30 years now and I do not want to go back to Windows. But if you do CNC you're pretty much stuck with Windows (or another more exotic platform). So if I went to a Pawn shop or used computer store looking for something to use strictly for CNC what processor do I set as a minimum, and how much memory (RAM and storage) is needed for the same minimum. I was kinda of hoping AI would be helping out with this but maybe that won't happen, at least not right away. They're too busy cloning voices and doing fake people stuff.

Maybe your old enough to remember your grandparents/great grandparents crank up "Gramophone" with the big horn phonograph or maybe they had the later "Victrola" with the internal horn built into the cabinet or if they had electricity they may have had an "Orthophonic Victrola" AKA as "Electrola" with the Electrola soundbox pickup introduced in 1925. I've been wanting to build a rolling cabinet for my Windows 11 Pro build computer/monitor/usb turntable and after talking a few times with my neighbor "Bruce" he mentioned why not build a "Victrola" style case. We're both fans of the "Golden Oak" era so I kind of liked the idea. The clincher came when Bruce pulled out an old store display of none other than the "Nipper" that stands about 2.5 ft. tall. (I'm still trying to talk him out of that!) That and the fact that I have access to Bruce's salvage furniture pieces he's collected over the years which included this lid and other items. The case will fit on the Larkin desk I'm rebuilding/refinishing which has castors. Guess I'd have to say I heard "His Masters Voice" and the build is on. Here's some of those "Salvage" and "Curb Shopping" items. I've been getting a little done here and there working around the weather and vehicle problems but will have to take some photos later to show what I've got done later when I can. SWMBO is done with car, so I better go change that window regulator so the window will stay up.
