    GarageMan got a reaction from Ben17 in Cannot find Pi Zero W on wireless network   
    I've been attempting to follow the guide on the raspberry pi ad blocker, and I've been using a raspberry pi zero w trying to get it to run raspbian buster lite headless, and the light goes on, and in the ssh file I included the ssid and the psk, which should be sufficient according to the guides I followed, I think I have a wpa 2 psk style wifi to the best of my understanding, but this is my first time doing something with a raspberry Pi. I couldn't find the raspberry pi on angry scanner or fing on my phone, any advice for how to set this up?  I attempted to set it up earlier with the full raspbian buster with desktop and programs but it got stuck at raspi-config-service so I formatted my SD and went back to lite. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time!

    Back in the day we just zip tied and taped to the case metal where it was possible. Just aim to move the cables out of the middle, away from heat sinks and fans etc.
     
    Difficulty: Low
    Cost: Some (zip ties, anchor points optional, tape optional.)
    Time: 30 minutes should be enough.

    iPhone 8 as well, theyre still being sold.
     
    But nobody does LTS better than Apple, and I would suggest their phones to most people because of it. In the end a phone is a tool, and a good tool does not become obsolete quickly.

    I'd say Craigslist since you don't have to wrap it up and ship it. It would just make it easier

    It should be but for specifics you will need to directly contact the manufacture for details.

    The Corsair 450D is a bit of an older case. Still functional, but lacks the PSU shroud. 
     
    Between the Corsair 275R and the 460X, I personally choose for the 460x for it's better airflow, and IMO better looks. The 275R is slightly smaller (being more space efficient) but has a bad Tempered glass mount design (making it a pain to get on and off)
     
    If oyu want something that's Similar to your Focus G but a direct upgrade, I would look into the Meshify C or Enthoo Pro M TG. Both of these cases can be had for under $100, will function just like your Focus G and have great cable management.

    I can add another point to the Define C, its really nice as long as you dont stuff it with too many radiators and too much watercooling lol
     
    *edit*
    also the Focus G you have selected in the PCPP is actiually a really nice budget case, love that thing for the value

    The screws. The backplate is secured down using the existing screw holes. Usually this is only an aftermarket option when watercooling.

    They are very quiet. Cryorig coolers come with 4-pin PWM fans so you can control their exact RPM, meaning even less noise from your system. The H5 Universal allows for full tall RAM compatibility. This is done by having the cooler slightly offset and with a slim fan. The H5 ultimate is not offset and comes with a full sized 140mm fan that will block the first RAM slot, but only for tall RAM. Below is a pic of my system. If you have 2 stick of RAM then clearance is not an issue. It is only a problem with 4 sticks of RAM.

    You can clone your HDD to SSD and no install needed.
    If you're hdd is bigger than the ssd (like most do), match the size of the boot partition to the size of the ssd.
    And then clone the drive.
     
    But a fresh install to the new one will be much quicker and cleaner, if you don't mind reinstalling all the apps.
    Usually a change on the storage won't trigger new activation, even if it did, just call microsoft to reset your activation.
    I've done this many times.

    Once you've activated Windows on your computer, the Microsoft servers will remember that so you can reinstall on that "same hardware" (minor changes like RAM, GPU, SSD/HDD don't matter) and it will reactivate automatically.
