The Story
Origin Point is the reincarnation of our original gaming desktop tower. With portability no longer a concern, we decided we wanted a desktop tower again, so after selling Prominitheus, we took a shotgun trip to Micro Center and bought all of the parts to build her then and there.
Initially, Origin Point was spec'd out with an i9-12900K and a 7800 XT. However, after some price assessment, and knowing our use case, we spent a little more and switched to the 7800X3D and a refurbished RTX 3080 Ti. The 7800X3D for VR performance, and the 3080 Ti for NVENC and better performance at 4K.
Despite the fact that Prometheus mk. I continues to live on via the WD_BLACK SN850X and WD Red drives, Origin Point was renamed from Prometheus mk. II in November 2024.
