So a little background.

I have an RTX 4090, Ryzen 7700X, and 32GB of ram.

(side note: I’m thankful I just found the receipts, you’ll see why in a moment, but I paid $2200 CAD for everything but the GPU in 2022)

My PSU died, and I’m looking at a warranty now with EVGA for it.

What I’m thinking about, is racking the PC in my basement, and stream to my TVs.

The nicest TV is 4K@120Hz HDR.

I have a 10Gb backbone for my home networking, wired back to a mikrotik switch in my basement racked.

I’d like to run a headless box, and use those components to be able to game stream to thin clients around my house.

I tried moonlight before, not headless mind you, but the lack of virtual monitor support on KDE meant I couldn’t adjust resolutions to be higher than the output of the monitor plugged in.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

    I went down this route 2025 and gave up, because the latency just wasn’t acceptable for most games I wanted to play. The PC is still racked, but now I just use a long HDMI and USB-C run to a dedicated gaming monitor and peripheral hub.
