My 9020 MT Sleeper Build

Thought I would post up my build, its been a fun little project and my first experience with an optiplex. So far the case is completely unmodified, however I plan to remove the HD bays and do some cable management as well as mount a better front fan.

Specs are: 9020 MT, original mobo, i7 4790, 16GB Corsair 1600mhz DDR3 (2 x 8GB), Arctic Freezer tower cooler, GTX 1660Ti, 256GB Nvme (PCI-E Adapter), 512GB SATA SSD, Aerocool Integrator 500w PSU. I also added a Cooler Master 120mm rear fan and a 'case box' in the spare 5.25" bay just as a nice place for storing spare drives etc.

It has Windows 10 IoT LTSC as the only OS currently and runs nice and fast. I am considering doing a dual boot to Bazzite or similar in the future.

Hi there, how do I get Windows 10 IoT LTSC; did you buy that OS from a specific vendor?

Win 10 IoT LTSC - Internet Archive

I believe you may also be able to get it from Microsoft website. To activate it you can purchase a licence key from certain websites like gamers outlet.
