Yes, I know this has nothing to do with the game "PC Building Simulator", BUT to create a guide it must be linked to a game. So I thought this game is the best for making this type of guide. Sorry for all, who searched for a PC Building Simulator guide.

I am using my server for the test systems of my customers and gaming servers (e.g. Minecraft, Factorio). On top of that, I am hosting my own Wiki.js (to document all system configs) and GitLab for storing my code.
I updated the guide btw. - got some new stuff :-)
