raymac46 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's not as if I made recent wholesale changes. My desktop console was 5 years old in 2009 and I used it for another 4 years. Its replacement has been in service since 2013 and has been extensively upgraded/maintained over that time. With any luck it should be good for another couple of years. The only thing I've done recently was replace a worn wifi keyboard and mouse. Monitor and speakers are a few years old but still OK. I'd love to have NVME and USB 3 but right now the older technology still serves me well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 With SSDs in your server, it's usually just the fans that are pulling all the current. Solid state devices (mobo components, SSDs, vid card components, etc.) don't draw that much current. Fans, on the other hand will SUCK UP THE JUICE.

wa4chq Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Here's the temporary setup until I finish trimming. Will replace the rickety table with something more solid and I'll get a decent chair too. Anyway, it's what it is for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a carcase as I have loped of lumps of it to improve the air flow. It is a rather unusual case as it has a removable plate that has the mobo mounted on it along with the support plate for the PCI cards to be secured to and the i/O plate. I was going to use that as lift out section in a wooden case. Sadly I have never got a round to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
