"Tinkering" section on Workshop?

Burz

Pretty simple. I am planning to document all of my tinkering adventures with PCs and hardware but I am not sure if Build Logs might be the best place for it, since I wouldn't always be building PCs. Mainly opening some towers from people that let me and trying to upgrade things if possible :P

 

If anyone knows if there is a place where these kinds of things would fit, I would gladly post my thread there :)

Buildlogs seems to be the appropriate place for most of that.

I suppose. But would it really work for all cases? I mean, some could just end up not having anything to do with actual building.

What is the oddest thing you see yourself doing?

Fixing a component maybe... I certainly have not broken a lot of parts that I plan to fix... :P

 

And of course using fixed parts for building.

For something like that I would usually suggest New builds and Planning where it may not be exactly a new build but an upgrade.

I will do that then. Thank you!

It could be so, but that section sounds rather like for planning and not actually doing. :)

While subforums have sections like New builds, build logs and nodding,  I think you could as well start blog here. So if you have wide range of things and would like to keep them all in one place, that would be best option.

There wouldn't be enough content to justify a dedicated subforum for it. You could either try having a blog, or I think Build Logs would probably be the most appropriate location for the thread based on what you've said. If, once you've posted it, it looks like it would be better somewhere else, we can always move it.

I simply did not want to bother staff with that. But if that is fine with you all, I will start it there. :)
