    ScubyUK got a reaction from Falcon1986 in Using own router Fibre nest   
    Hi, I appreciate this post is a bit old now, but I just read a blog post and apparently the new Fibrenest ONT now supports Bridge Mode.
    I'll post the link to the Blog post below.

    Cool, thanks guys.
    I have over 600 DVDs/BluRays not including the TV Box Sets, but think I’ll sacrifice speed for quality where the Visuals/Audio warrant it (Star Wars, Marvel etc). 
    Well given that I already have an R5 3600 I’ll upgrade the GPU to an nVidia card next year once silly season ends and availability improves. I can always upgrade the CPU further down the road if need be. I have plenty of space in the GD08 case for 3 more 3.5” drives if need be, though to be honest, swapping the mechanicals out for SSDs is kind of appealing for a number of reasons. Cost is crazy though 🤣 (6 x 4TB WD Red drives for a shade under £3,000)

    I find this very interesting!
    I am in the process of encoding my DVD/Blu-ray collection. 
    I have been using MakeMKV then Handbrake. I guess I need to look at what settings I am actually using. 
     
    I took a break from that to convert some VHS, VHS-C, HI-8 and MicroDV tapes for friends. 
    Also had a break because I did a major upgrade. MB/CPU/RAM which I also added case, HDD&SSD and PSU (apparently 10 years old is a good time to upgrade? LOL)
    Oh and an adapter to keep using my Blu-ray/DVD drive.

    Day 3 - Disappointment
     
    So, as it turns out, even though I managed to mount a AIO in the 5 1/4" Bay, there isn't enough clearance for the hoses to get over the memory modules. 
    Have order an Be Quiet Shadow Rock TF2 to take it's place.

    Day 5 - Progress but a little disappointment!
     
    So, the Be Quiet PSU I wanted is now not available until October, so have switched to a Corsair for the time being. Can always switch it out later.
     
    Have installed the GPU though!

    In the vast majority of cases you'll notice weird issues/behaviours when not reinstalling the OS. 
    I'd just do a fresh install so I know it works from the get-go, instead of waiting around to see what happens, and potentially ending up having to reinstall Windows anyway.

    Looks like it'll be solid! Just finished a build last week with an Asus B550 F + 3600xt, guess that means we are build cousins!
