Does a new home with Ethernet wired up to most rooms count? Two ports per room as well, four in the living room.
Switch and router goes here and then I'll have to figure out the best place to put the WiFi, as this metal cabinet is behind two sliding mirror doors, so it can't go in there for sure.
Not moving for another couple of weeks though.

Bought a Steam Deck in september. Tossed a bottle of baileys on the screen... broken screen. And just two days after I thought I was going to have to DIY replace the screen.., someone bought into my ad selling the broken device for the asking price of 225 euro.

So... I just found the perfect excuse to upgrade to a Deck OLED. New device, +256GB storage and fresh warranty for an additional 150 eur on top of my repair bill I already had plus I get to be lazy and avoid risk of failure

I was searching for some metal sheets at the local junkyard. Salvaged these 3 for less than a €2:



Failed to find any metal parts I came for in the first place...

I wish I live closer to the junkyard. - Let me explain this bit a bit.

I assume that this copper core stock Intel cooler didn't came on a low end CPU, quite the opposite. It is one of the best models. The case was already almost empty, just the old weak aftermarket PSU and this cooler left. Mobo and the CPU gone, my assumptions - some Xeon or Core i were there...
The other two were find in a case with cooler off. so the person haven't had any interest in a LGA775 things, but its knowledge of PC parts is weak. The mobo itself can tell you things.
Found out there's a guy working at the car wash nearby, who is sourcing out anything worthy every damn day. The same thing is with the metal parts and other people. When I got there, there were more than 5 people already searching for stuff. The competition is getting out of hand.

Literal junkyard PC is best PC.

You also need a couple of spare yubikeys as decoys

I now have 6, at $12 a piece even I can afford

A stand for my TV. Been on the wall for about 4 years since I broke its original stand when I was hella drunk, but now I want to change the order of furniture in my apartment and as I don't own any power tools, a wall-mount is out of the question.

Does my 2nd PC's HD 7970 count?

That's a great price.

Btw, Phanteks team responded to my email. One T30 is soon heading my way.

Did Phanteks say anything about the broken blade, or that they'll at least want to investigate it?

Got this small thing, which works great for fans:

ARCTIC 10 Port PWM Case Fan Hub with SATA Power

Noice, but how do you control them...

 

[Ruru]

Noice, but how do you control them...

IIRC that hub goes to one PWM connector on the motherboard, and the hub uses that PWM signal to control all the fans which are connected to it? Or that's my guess (too lazy to check the product page )

So it practically works just like like a cheap splitter or something like that.

That's a great price.

Truly agree, and he already dropped it to the post office and I'll get it probably on tuesday. :cheers:

Then all 10 fans would just run at the same speed?..No?..

I guess that they would, if they're identical.

 

[P4-630]

I guess that they would, if they're identical.

Yeah, but I meant you probably can't control them individually.. Oh well..

Yeah, exactly as I thought. So yeah, no invidual control @P4-630

I've stopped posting here for a while as I would have ended up spamming the Forum with all the new keyboards I bought. I've since become somewhat of a small time keyboard youtuber with the view of trying to spread the love for smaller brands & custom boards to everyone and anyone. It seems this is all it took to get Sponsors to reach out thus resulted in my gaming room being filled with keyboards which I've given out to family and friends after showcasing them on my channel. Being the final post about the keyboards I buy, feel free to check out my channel at http://www.youtube.com/@LettersEF .. Or feel free to PM me if you're looking for some recommendations in the budget arena!

Getting ready to build this bad boy.

Picked up Bykski 10x 14mm/16 hard tube compression fittings, Bykski bending rubber and 3x 1m 14mm/16mm hardline for now.

Whole lot came to $45 aud. Shitloads cheaper than EK but I'm yet to try it out so hopefully will be all good.
