I mount my motherboard by clamping it between little hooks on corner pieces: Cable management is done by hiding all the cables in a single compartment behind the HDDs and the PSU. Again, I can't comment on the rigidity of mini K'nex vs. normal K'nex... I would advise you to just try it out and see how it turns out.

Go check out my server build, you'll see what I mean But yes, basically any swapping out of parts will require undoing some of the construction (dependent on how the case is built). Well, there are always risks involved with moving these things. I can tell you, though, that my K'nex server is pretty freaking solid. I can move it without any fear of it breaking whatsoever.

I think I'm misunderstanding your point here, but you can just yank out the old drive, and then slide in the new drive? You never carry these things with a handle on the top! Always support the bottom (as you would when carrying a box). (well, K'nex server v2 could be carried by grabbing a connection at the top, but it's still not recommended at all)

If those components are of the same type (so ATX mobo to replace an ATX mobo, for example), everything should still fit. How so?

One concern I can think of with mini k'nex: you'll need way more interlinks, which add more weak points in the case. All the more reason for a cube case, it seems. What are you saying here? I don't see what that has to do with any of what I wrote :unsure:

I don't know about the sizes of mini K'nex, never had that in my hands before, ever. General tips: put the heaviest components in the bottom. don't mimic the typical full tower case, instead build a sort of cube case. Reason is that the cube thing will be stronger structurally speaking. don't be afraid of snug fits. I need to literally force my HDDs in their cages to make them fit. prepare for painful fingers.

It's very possible, check out the link in my sig. That's a mini-ITX system, but it should give you the basic idea

My only real problem was number four, that took me quite a while to full think through.

you can actually control a 4-pin fan with a three pin socket, voltage modulation still works on PWM fans.

Time for a lesson in how fans work... A three pin fan is controlled using variable voltage. This basically means that it receives a voltage between 0V and 12 V. The higher that voltage, the faster it'll spin. To deliver this voltage, these motors only need two wires (black and blue, + and -, positive and negative (ground)). The third pin is used by the motherboard to get a reading from RPM sensor inside the fan, so it knows how fast the fan is spinning. A four pin fan is controlled using pulse width modulation. This means that the fan motor is controlled by a pulsing signal that switches between 12V and 0 V very quickly. The longer this signal is 'on' vs. being 'off', the faster the motor will spin. To deliver this functionality, the motor need three pins: two for power (constant 12V), and one for the PWM high frequency controlling signal. The reason they have four wires is, again, because there is on wire that is connected to an RPM sensor. You can find a more in-depth explanation of this, complete with a little diagram, in a post I made here. The pin that's missing is the RPM sensing pin. Reason for this is that no two fans will ever spin at the exact same speed when driven by the same PWM signal. In order to avoid shortages and other nonsense signals on the RPM-sensing line, we only connect one of the fans to the motherboard's sensor pin. That way, the motherboard only reads one fan, and we assume the other one is running within margin of error. Source for all this: two courses in electronic engineering.

Basically: all of the above... Storing images in the database is usually slower and more resource consuming than only storing the image path. Since you didn't specify what language you're working with, I can't really help with any specific code. Maybe elaborate a bit more on what it is you're trying to accomplish?

I'm learning for an exam at the moment. During class, the teacher interluded with the following quiz. Don't worry, I know the answers already (see spoilers) and don't need your help solving them. See for yourself if you can answer them all correctly Assume machine with 32 bit word size, two's complement integers.Assume execution of the tests with C.For each of the following expressions, either: * Argue that it's true for all argument values, or * Give example where not trueInitialization: int x = foo(); int y = bar(); unsigned ux = x; unsigned uy = y;Expressions: 1) if (x < 0) then ((x * 2) < 0) 2) ux >= 0 3) if (x & 7 == 7) then ((x << 30) < 0) 4) ux > -1 5) if (x > y) then (-x < -y) 6) x * x >= 0 7) if (x > 0 && y > 0) then (x + y > 0) 8) if (x >= 0) then (-x <= 0) 9) if (x <= 0) then (-x >= 0) There are a few that render weird answers at first glance, see if you can spot them.

I do this kind of lifting in group regularly: EDIT: On a more serious note: nope, my joints don't allow me to lift heavy weights for a prolonged period of time

Depends on the map and mods. As I've said above: a friend of mine runs a Minecraft server that has about 10 concurrent users, RAM usage is basically all-it-can-eat, with usually a max of 8 GB dedicated to the JVM heap size.

The only correct choice here is ?!. Reason being that it's used to express that a question is being yelled. So you first make a question by typing ?, then you express that said question is being yelled by adding !.
