I have to re-purpose my 64TB SAN so ended up with this to move all my games too.

That's sweet! I've got a couple of the og mb hr-09s in a box somewhere that I used on a asus p4c800-e deluxe? Something socket 478 at least...brings back memories.

Wtf..... I feel like these are for the same people who would use dynamite to nuke an ant hill.

I've done that. Well, it was only an M80, but still, gotta kill them ants somehow...
But I disgress, we're straying from the topic...

I tried to do the same with a stick of water dynamite (weaker than M80 but still) as a lesson to a clam that kept squirting me but the bastard just went deeper, thus squirting me again.

Yes, I totally deserved it. I fought the clam and the clam won.

My SN750s are sitting at 25-26 and warm up to 31-35. just the stock sinks that came with the board. These would probably be good for an open air build with no fans at all.. They also have a slightly smaller single 6mm pipe M.2 cooler..

Ehh..

I did end up getting a pair..

Nice

Bought myself a gorgeous little pair of speakers for my desk setup. £79 each.

EDIT
With DIY stands

HP M300 Pavilion, bought 2nd hand so far so good, just i'm not too familiar with double side buttons

and what i found, the seller said he had internet cafe and coz of the visitors that got lower and lower he had to close his internet cafe
he tagged the Fantech Rhasta II G13 for $1.1 and i guess it's pretty low for pretty good condition

My build inside the chassis is almost all black... black sinks, black board, the only shiny bits are the lights, and I just turn them off now

I wanted some shiny bits

There might be a clearance issue with the top one and my TY-143.. not sure yet.. if so I will move an NF-A14 to my cooler since it is a square fan it should have no issue.

I have to quit looking at hardware I don't need late at night because I really don't need these

Hi,
Those blower style m.2 coolers are actually pretty good
I just need some bigger m.2's to use them on, all I have are small 500gb good os only which I've switched back to sata easier to deal with using linux...

Since my last comment about passive I have been pondering trying my Le Grand Macho RT on the 5900X with no fan, no PBO, no tricks just to see how it runs. That cooler is rated for 90w TDP operation with no fan, and 5900X is "105w". Fairly close.. Worst case scenario is I have to run the TY147-B stock fan, which is dam near silent already. I would like to try and break away from high performance fans, just to see if I can..

Grabbed an Asus Rog Flow X13 2022 edition. Ryzen 6900hs/3050ti/DDR5 6400 16GB varient. I am also a bit OCD so had to grab a somewhat matching wireless mouse.

First impression.... I am mighty impressed given it's size.... Haven't really had time to do any benchmarks but it will mostly be used for office type stuff and occasional media consumption while traveling.

I had a hard time deciding between this and the i9 version but after looking at battery life and performance while unplugged the Ryzen 6000 variant seemed like the better choice.

A byski full cover for the gtx1080ti. Might take a while to get here, but it will. Have ordered a few hings from here now, and have always got them. Should be better than the GPU only block i have on now.

View attachment 242215

Those look alright, I am really considering trying a passive, or semi passive setup. because the GPU will be untouched.. I want to see what can really be done with what I have already, and just lay it on the box, or use the standoffs that came with my Z77 OC formula.. hmm that is a good idea.. forgot about those..

Did you just get the one or a few for you know, science/spares/overkill etc.

Raid 1 maybe??

lol just 1 for now. only 2 M.2 slots on my board and I dont like riser cards I used to use iSCSI to map my SAN to my PC and all my games were on that LUN. but I need to do other things with my SAN now so I needed somewhere to put my games lol.

10G via SFP+ I dont use ethernet on my desktop and my entire home infra is fiber from switches to desktops all interlinked with fiber.

If you don't use ethernet, where does the fibre connection plug into on your desktop? I am guessing some kind of PCIE expansion card?

in my case specifically, its a mellanox connectX-3

 

[DoLlyBirD]

I did look up SFP and dang it, even when you're clued up on tech there is always something bigger and better, new tech etc that you can learn about, out of curiousity what's the use case scenario? I can't imagine many people would benefit/get the most out of this tech now as gigabit seems to be the standard and 2.5GB/5GB home networking gear is in its infancy and gaining traction, what was the reason you decided to use SFP?

Exactly my point sir!! 1Gb copper/ethernet RJ45 connections are for peasants, right?? (Bare in mind everyone, whilst it might not seem like it, I have having a laugh here @Solaris17 as I know he's got one mean networking setup at home and yes, the envy is real )
