What is the single most rachet solution in your build

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

include a first place, and honorable mentions

 

most rachet is my voltage drop adapter to keep my H100 pump from making noise (12.3V rail is too much for it, although within ATX spec)

 

after that, it's the fishing line+magnet support for my graphics card.

 

 

if we go to my PC that's built into the wall, every single mount for every piece of hardware is rachet in it's own right.

 

we all have our rachet solutions (especially slick) and that's what make our builds ours.

I have a laptop hard drive mounted in one of the 5.25" drive bays.

I use chewed gum to hold my CPU in it's socket while I pour milk over top to keep it cool.

[Mooshi]

My system isn't even in a case currently with lovely PSU wires everywhere. :V

HD 7750 on a 220W psu

[CCap]

I'm using a 1300w PSU for a single 780ti and 4770k. 

 

Better safe than sorry?

 

Also, the 650D doesn't have an internal USB 3.0 headers, so I have it routed behind my Radiator to my rear IO ports just to get front USB 3. *note* I don't even use USB 3

My SSD taped down with so much tape the tape is more expensive than the SSD itself.

I don't know if it counts but I taped my microphone on an iron wire that is taped with ducttape on my pair of cans

I once had a Raid array of laptop drives zip tied into the 5.25 inch bays.

I thought it was an expectation that you tape down your SSD. congratulations my friend. you have discovered the truth of SSD mounting. my SSD deserves only the best in tape.

I've got cheap seethrough tape lol, a mounting bracket is much "better" but it's an SSD :-)

my tape of choice for mounting SSDs is Gaffer's tape. if I haven't any of that, I use some trusty electical tape or 3M VHB

a new trick I found is using those command strips that have something like homogeneous velcro for mounting. makes removal and swaps easy

Using VGA? BAN THIS FILTH!

 

For me, it's the really bad cable management in the case and the fact that the SSD is not even mounted with anything.

I used to connect my laptop through VGA to my 1080p monitor lol.

[toms94z71]

not really my system but I have an old weathered 2x8 screwed into the side of my desk just sticking up next to my case to keep my cat from accidentally tipping it off the desk when i am not home since he has decided he likes to get up on the shelf above my computer desk. 

[darkspeedy26]

lol, my whole motherboard hangs in here with tape (and cardboard behind it for conductivity)

the drives are outside of my case

its not a permanent solution, kinda in the design phase of my mod

edit: do i win?

Oh god he said rachet....that's a term the freshman girls use in my school.

I've never herd it used this way actually. Did someone make a new definition for it?

Around me it is used like swag and yolo, I cant wait to move away from the annoying people in maryland.

Broken CASE 4 LYFE!!

[theelitegamer]

I 'had' a external graphics card for my ThinkPad t61, it ran well but died out 

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

the meaning of rachet as an adjective depends on the context. sometimes it means crazy or out of line; wreched

[IDprofile]

One of my monitors is sitting on a notebook so it's the same height as the others. Doesn't bother me much though.

[TooManyErrors]

In my build, its definitely the hidden cable management, its pretty bad. For my family's computer, its definitely the second hard drive that is just resting at the bottom of the case.

[jlibby455]

my entire desktop is sitting on a shelf with nothing holding anything down. just have an h100 sitting there. also i no longer get ethernet to my room so i have to run a pass through from my old macbook pro....its been a process. but my cpu is idling at 24C and never goes above 60C and my r9 290 is never goes above 70c. just dont bump my desk.
