What have you done to your PC today?

[Spyfox]

afaik only the usb and fan extensions have heatshrink

all the others are shrinkless

[neopheX]

Well i rather have someone else do my sleeving for me and for a fee i dont see why or how that would be a problem? Im sure if someone was to get $150 bucks tax free in their pocket for a night out with the boys from me to do my sleeving for me, i highly doubt someone would do a shit job considering they're helping me and im helping them in return.

What ever happen to helpful people in the world? Back in the mid 80's to late 90's everyone would help everyone, no strings attached and no idiots getting in the way, these days its all "fuck you do it yourself"

How generations change.

Nope.

Losing count of how many times I have run over this, was verified by the bf rep in one of the threads.

Any single run cable is shrinkless. Anything that joins multiple cables - like sata power or molex chains use heat shrink.

Start here and then have a bit of a look. Cables like this have no shrink. Cables like this do.

These are the same areas that need shrink when using paracord to do your psu. GPU connectors - 8+6 pin, molex chains, sata power chains.

I am really starting to think people run their mouth off with no idea what they are talking about, and the concept of actually having a look - well @#$% that.

Well generations have changed, but also the amount of spare time that people have has changed.

How much spare time do you have, where you could comfortably sit down and spend the time required to sleeve someone's psu, or some other such repetitive manual task? I know that I am part way through my psu, and that it is a long running project - approx 4 months of "when I have time."

Please be aware that whatever the generational gap you seem to be declaring here may not be the one that you think it is. I know that while I am in the 25-35 bracket there are people here that are 35-45 and 45+.

Maybe giving everyone a "get off my lawn" is not the best way to go about sourcing assistance?

That was the early- to mid-80s, before AIDS really hit the free love community in the Freddy Murcury. By the mid- to late-80s Gordon Gekko had convinced everyone that greed was at least better than fucking Sharon Stone, but by the early-90s, Kurt had showed us all that we need that free love shit like we need a hole in the head!

But serioursly dude, its not about help or the love or anything, its just the wrong forum. OCAU embodies DIY - if you perhaps rephrase your request something along the lines of "who is willing to spend an evening over at my place showing me the rudiments of sleeving for a feed and their choice of beverage" you might get more than a few takers...

Even though it was more this week I got the Fractal XL side panel cut & put a piece of acrylic on it (GAM Mods ftw)



Waiting on 3x 2TB Seagate Barracuda drives than I'm all set for the upcoming RFLAN

Upgraded the file server in this one month...

• i7 2700k @ 4.2Ghz (stock volts)
• ASRock Z77 Extreme4
• Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz (8-8-8-24 1N)
• Asus GTX480 1.5GB GPU (Only for Gaming @ LAN's)
• Asus Essence STX Sound Card (Only for Gaming @ LAN's - Headphones)
• Corsair H80 CPU Cooler (Note: ITS AN AIR COOLER)
• Installed 4 Castor Wheels onto the Fractal XL since I will snap my spine by trying to move it...

Only thing left to do is to win Lotto and migrate 2TB's to 4TB's... why must storage be so heavy on the wallet

nope what?
how am i wrong in saying the usb/front panel header and fan extensions use heatshrink where as the others dont?

not trying to be a smartarse either, genuinely curious about it
so how about get off your high horse and NOT be a fuckwit about it

Well I'll stop being a fuckwit about it as soon as you do princess.

If you took 5 seconds to have a look at the products where linked, rather then getting sand in your snatch over it, you would see that it is not only the usb cables that have shrink, but also

GPU connectors - 8+6 pin, molex chains, sata power chains.

But like I said before, actually having a look for yourself, that would be too hard, especially as they were linked just there.

[Spyfox]

Did your horse climb a ladder or something?

From what I saw, the gpu extensions DONT have shrink which is what got me confused
Also, the regular molex extensions don't either.

As for sata and molex CHAINS, yes, they do have heatshrink which you're right about and I confirmed by checking the links.

Genuine question/curiosity before you decided to be a dildo about it. Relax, Nancy. You can put the keyboard down and continue your crusade elsewhere.

Am i the only one thinking whats the point of overlclocking a file server that will hardly ever get over 10% of cpu load? just a waster of power...

looks cool, but your challenge should be to see how far you can underclock / under volt cpu and still make it perform! would be very interested to see how you go with that.

Wouldnt even come close to calling it a file server, its just a glorified PC with a few HDD's in it.

Missing so many integral pieces of vital hardware to make it a proper lanbox/file server

Not using Registered ECC memory
Not using a server class board
Not using an Xeon chip (req for ECC memory and board)
Not using some kind of dual or quad/10gbe nic (jumbo packets ftw)
Using a steel case thats a huge waste of space (a A71 or A77 or PC-343 would of been a much better choice)
The lack of raid card, or lack of software raid is troublesome as well.
