Thanks so much, appreciate your input.

I'm curious about the 1gb port. My switch is only 1gb so I have no issues there but my home internet speed is 2gb which would be limiting my wifi speed if I ran it to my router. Perhaps I'll just run the ethernet to the ups and then to the switch, leaving the router out of the chain. Most likely a 2gb solution would be a bit more pricy. Not looking to go above $200 at a max. Thanks for the information though! This looks like a good pic if I can't find anything else.

Hello everyone! I recently lost the motherboard to my home server due to a lightning strike (in addition to my modem, router, and switch). They were plugged into a surge protector but unfortunately it didn't work as intended. Anyways, I should be running these things, especially my server, on a UPS. I just never pulled the trigger on buying one mainly because I have no idea of a good brand or how much I would really need. All I want it to do is shut my server off when my house loses power, but keep the networking equipment running for an hour at least (is that a long time for a fiber connection with router and switch? IDK!) My server is nothing fancy, 450w power supply. i7 6700. 2 SSDs 2HDDs. I also have a 24 port switch, a TP link wifi 6e tri band router, and the fiber connection (I don't believe its called a router but something else). Any suggestions for brand, size, etc? Thanks in advance!

I remember seeing a backpack on the channel before that had a plug coming out of it to keep all the devices inside the backpack charged. Does the LTT backpack have this functionality? (Or some sort of passthrough to put in my own power/usb strip) Would be nice to be able to charge all my devices by 'plugging in my backpack' when I get home.

That looks sick!!

Thanks for you help! Don't know if I will go this route just yet, as I kind of like the idea of having bare copper wire exposed. I may change my mind though due to safety concerns

Reading up on it, this could be very useful. I'll stop by home depot or lowes and see if it is indeed stiff enough for my application.

Are you referring to the wire that houses are wired with? I don't have any in front of me at the moment but I can check the size when I get home. If memory serves me right, I believe that would be too think, no?

Thanks, I'll try a search for that and see how I make out. Glad to hear someone has had success with this in the past, this mod will make my plan for a wall mounted PC look amazing.

Hi all, A few years back I saw a mod for car audio where they used solid copper or copper pipes to connect the amp to the subwoofer. For some reason this idea just came back to me now, and I think it would look sick as a mod for a modular power supply. My idea is to use 18/16 AWG solid copper wire instead of the stock 24-pin connector from power supply to motherboard since it will hold its shape and do 90 degree bends in it where appropriate. In order to keep the wires separated as there would not be insulation on them (maybe do a rubber paint on them to insulate them) I will be using a typical cable comb that is used to keep the usual wires neat. I can't for the life of me find any mod like this on Google, and was wondering if any of you guys have. If not, any advice or tips on how I could accomplish this would be awesome! Thanks!!
