It's a ginormous off-lease Lenovo Thinkstation P920 to replace my not-so-ginormous off-lease HP Z420.

Dual Xeon Gold 6140s - 18 cores each, 36 cores total, 72 threads. 32GB of RAM for now, the machine has 16-DIMM slots so it can take 1TB of RAM. 5 PCIe x 16 slots, I think 9 total PCIe slots. Dual m.2 slots, 10 SATA ports, and a 1.4kW power supply.

@particlesbbs At least that's a ridiculous way to enumerate them. Are all of those actually valid, currently usable boot devices, or is it just listing everything that might be possible in some circumstances?

@paradroyd - it's possible options. If I had them all hooked up, I'm sure the lights would dim when I turned on this beast.

@particlesbbs I figured. It's kind of weird that it shows you everything by default. I'd more expect it to show stuff it actually detected, maybe with a checkbox to show everything regardless (unless there IS such an option and you've chosen it.
