Bought cheese balls.

They're disgusting but I can't stop eating them.

As an American how dare you insult our ethnic foods by implying there's real cheese in cheese balls! Cheese balls are a sacred tradition not to be trifled with, thank goodness you haven't gotten your hands on our hotdogs or hamburgers yet, those are 100% American!

But there is real cheese in these. 6% to be exact.

They actually look pretty good, probably way better than our junk food here which might be why they don't taste as good. I think it's all the cancer and diabetes in our food that makes them taste better. We eat like we have free healthcare.

An additional 2TB drive, and a DP2.0 cable for my RX 7900 XT when I get back. Just like PSUs, I tend to get overpowered, or overspec'ed cables....

Dont care what they say. That was a decent system back in the day. My friend had one and we had fun with that.

Just got a Rosewill RSV-L4000U in to be the new home of my 4790K system where it's going to do NAS and Plex duties.

Ooooooooo my Linus Tech Tips screwdriver arrived today.  Handcrafted by little Sebastian himself (I like to imagine).

The attention to detail on the packaging alone is pretty sweet

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks LTT!

Didn't even need a Segway to this sponsor spot

Perfect chance for me to complain about how bleh the market is on rackmount chassis. It makes sense because it's not like very many people buy them, but it does make me a little sad. I'd have loved to make my current server redo rackable but it seems like the mighty Define 7 was just one of the best options around that balanced having a shitload of drives in it, airflow, and noise.

100% agree. The options for rack mountable cases are really sparse.

 

Mine will be moving from a Corsair 350D which doesn't have a lot of storage options, so it was a bit easier for me.

My missus gave me a $100 gift card to Sunglass Hut for Christmas as I was saying I was thinking of buying a new pair of sunnies. So originally $300 AUD, on sale for $220, found a discount code for $50 & with the gift card I was out of pocket all of $77 because shipping wasn't free for some stupid reason.

Well, after having tried linear mechanical switches for a while, it was time to move back to click-switches. 

Unfortunately, I wasn't really able to find any pre-build keyboards I really liked and that were available to me, so I had to jump down the rabbit hole that is custom mechanical keyboards. 

 

The kit is a Kindle Star Orion 87 with Kailh/Novelkeys Navy Blue switches and GPBT Black Ash key caps. 

The keycaps were chosen because they allowed me to do a hack job combination of US ANSI and Nordic ISO, so I can still uniformly have Nordic characters with an ANSI keyboard layout. And the color match between the case and the keys turned out really well by lucky coincidence. 

 

All in all, it's a rather expensive solution to a trivial problem, but I'll admit that it was a fun experience to actually put together a keyboard for the first time. I finally understand why so many people have this as a hobby. 

I have a keyboard that looks similar to this one but isn't a 10 keyless one.

This is what happens when distance between peripheral sata power connector is not enough. I can't reach to DVD drive, not enough length.

Is there a extened cable for sata power, mates?

Anything exists with soldering. What is it you're looking for? Sata power extension? Yes, they exist.

Hmm I will try to see if I have them...

I know I have molex to sata adapters...

But there is store who sells that stuff I think.

Gigabyte Z590 itx board and 64gb of Corsair vengeance LPX

Funnily enough the ram height ended up not being an issue, as it lines up right behind the fan, but I wanted 64gb anyway

putting this NHD15 on here was a nightmare but it does fit 

the 24 pin is actually the limitation now, I’m either thinking of rear mounting one of the two fans or getting a right angle 24 pin adapter 

you can see that fan height difference because of the 24 pin

but it works fine, 11900K and SSDs moved over to it 

just waiting for the case now

My soon to be assembled 2nd rig will be relatively close to my 4K TV, so I'd gotten a 10 feet long Maxonar HDMI2.1 certified cable, it's good enough to support 4K 120Hz should I ever upgrade my TV to one with that specs...

ChromeOS Flex only supports 64 bit CPU...such a shame...
