Do any forum members have a dedicated workshop PC?
I have been toying with the idea for some time now. Wanted a PC to use in my shop but didn't want to use any of my existing systems for that purpose.
I cobbled one up this weekend. Got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Computer-Extended-x5-Z8350-Graphics/dp/B071JNH6JX and set it up with an extra monitor I had laying around. It's all mounted to a roll around cart that keeps it mobile enough so that I can use it at my workbench or roll it around to other parts of the shop such as right next to the car when under working the hood.
I have shop manuals for my vehicles in PDF format so I can consult them when needed and also have an OBDII dongle and software to be able to read codes and other vehicle diagnostic info from my vehicle's computer. It should also be handy for watching YouTube videos and hot to do things.
Anyone have other suggestions as to what software might be useful for a shop PC?
