Behold, my latest crime against humanity, the Commodore 1541 Blu Ray drive:
I still need to paint the LG drive's faceplate dark brown, but it works great so far. I made it use eSATA, and I had to run the eSATA cable through the videocard in my PC:

Yeah the plan is to paint the faceplate of the LG drive with dark brown paint to match the original mitsumi floppy drive

Actually something I'm looking for but it's such a hard item to search for

So I noticed this strange outline on my ceiling in the basement living room with the thermal camera
After cutting a hole in the ceiling where the outline was...
It turns out they ran ductwork to this area and never put a vent there
It doesn't go anywhere else
Just hereSo I ended up installing a vent there.
...somehow this isn't nearly the dumbest thing in this house, not by a long shot.

Big hmmmmmmmm The problem with cable managing thing is that my setups last like 5 minutes and then I need to change things -

that's why velcro.
the cable management under my desk is all mounts designed to be used with zip ties, and i just have zip tie loops on them that i can use with velcro straps.

If it can be helped sometimes shorter cables are just better. Otherwise yeah, cable ties.

Sounds very much like you're tripping some over power protection in the PSU. The standby rail inside the power supply is usually a seperate circuit, and it's the one that just happens to run the RGB lights when the machine's in standby. The main part of the supply is seeing something it doesn't like, and it locks itself out from running until power is fully removed and re-applied. There's two ways I would go about sorting or avoiding this issue. The first would be underclocking/undervolting your videocard, which is going to be the bulk of the power draw for your build. The second would be to find a used power supply on ebay or otherwise. Corsair has a list of power supplies and what series cables they use, so you could try to find a "PSU only" for sale and upgrade to a higher wattage without even re-doing any of your cable runs. Here's links to their current and legacy cable charts: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/s/psu-cable-compatibility https://www.corsair.com/us/en/s/legacy-psu-cable-compatibility Do not try to use another power supply with your existing cables unless it matches the type! I managed to score two 1200w corsair supplies without cables for 30$ per unit and they're running great for me, but of course your mileage may vary when buying used.

Personal rig mini-update:
I rebuilt my rig nearly from scratch this year. Upgraded from a 1080 and 8086K in a node 202 to a 4070Ti and 13600K in a new case.
I used to have a 1200w PSU and an ancient 120mm asetek cooler in here, but I realized I had an 860w psu on hand which gave just enough room for a 280mm clc.
I went on ebay and found a brand new ID cooling set with "damage" but it was so minor I bought it:
I got some help from some of the soft idiots during the upgrade:
The 280mm CLC was a tight squeeze but I did manage to cram it in. The power cables on the other hand were really horrendous to try to fit in here, I need to make some really short ones for this case. However the end results were pretty good for such a cheap CLC... Cinebench R15 with P cores at 5.1ghz and E cores at 3.6ghz, it never went above 65C on the hottest core with the fans at a little over 1000 RPM. I need to properly stress test it and tune them for silence but it's working well so far.

Yup, an LG. Not impressed with the UI but whatever, it was the cheapest oled I could find. As for the wall, I sleep in my basement in an area that wasn't even supposed to be a bedroom. This wall has the furnace behind it. -

Fair enough, though I've personally never had much luck with "we'll replace affected equipment if it breaks" deals. Just like car insurance they've always weaseled their way out of anything they can, glad to hear you've had positive experiences though. As for the UPS itself, the ethernet surge supression certainly can be beneficial but a lot of people see UPSs solely as surge supressors, even though they're mainly intended to be a battery back-up (hence the name Uninturruptable Power Supply) They just usually happen to also include surge suppression features. A good surge suppressor strip will do the same job as a UPS in this case as long as battery backup isn't what you need it for, many surge supressor strips have ethernet and coaxial passthrus for this purpose too. They often also offer device protection warranties.
-
Yeah that's real unfortunate, sorry to hear that The surge into the ethernet jack very likely took out the motherboard, how far it went after that is anyone's guess. GPU/storage may work still, or it could have trashed nearly everything in the machine. Depends on where it stopped and how sensitive each part is to transients. Case fans (if connected to the motherboard) may not be getting powered up since the board's control to them is likely toast. An ethernet surge supressor may help in the future, but unfortunately there's not much that can stop a direct lightning strike. If it can travel through the atmosphere, it's gonna travel through whatever electronics are in its way too. When I redid my house's telecom wiring, I installed a big chunky coaxial grounding block for my internet and my TV antenna as close to the grounded electrical supply as possible. If lightning hits the cable feeding it, it's pretty much game over, though it may not travel as far down the chain of electronics. But if it strikes nearby and induces transients, that grounding block plus a surge supressor may save what comes after. I've not lost anything to lightning yet, but unfortunately it's a real possibility that it'll happen sometime. As for your PCPP links, both builds look pretty solid. I've got a 13600K and I've been impressed by it, I went with a last gen board to keep some of the costs down though as it was kinda an impulse purchase. I'm only running a rather ancient gen 3 SSD though. Can't really feel the need for much faster.
-
Unfortunately, UPSs aren't gonna do much in the event of a lightning strike. The most they could do in that case is surge supression, something a surge suppressor power strip will do just as well. I'd also personally steer clear of APC, at least the consumer stuff. I've seen reports of them using aluminium wire instead of copper in the transformers and not even crimping the wires to terminals, instead trying (and failing) to solder to the aluminium wire which doesn't work. I took apart one a friend gave me and sure enough it has aluminium windings with no proper connection to the wire. As for the old machine, @JMak00 is there anything working still? What troubleshooting has been done on it? You may be able to reuse parts from the old build, such as the case at the very least. You could probably also sell the old machine on the classifieds here as a "for parts" machine.

Thermal imaging is a lot of fun indeed. Here's an xbox 360 slim motherboard powering up on thermal cam, you can see the ram's delayed powerup:
