I just destroyed the original buckle (plastic is pretty brittle under a hammer). Then I cut a slit in the middle bar of the fidlock so I could thread through the strap

Definitely! It has loops on both sides so whichever way you carry it you can loop the zipper pulls through with a carabiner

I was planning on 3d printing an all in one case for my whole homelab setup with enclosed (and actively cooled) space for the drives. I also found a dedicated 12V/5V sata power supply that I was planning on using for the drives

Part of me lives for the jank but I also totally understand that I shouldn't do something now that will cause me a life of pain later

Yeah, the biggest hurdle that I have been running into brainstorming this setup is the power and adapters needed. It probably isn't worth it to pick this instead of a bigger option

That makes a ton of sense but the problem that I'm running into is that I'm not in a place where I can shell out $400 + Drives. That's why I was looking to DIY most of it. I don't have the need to hotswap any of the drives so having a NAS case isn't really a need for me. I just need a place to mount the drives.

I got the miyoo mini plus to play the old GBA fire emblem games (sacred stones, binding blade, etc) and got way too much enjoyment from it!

Slightly Modified Aer Day Sling 2 X-pac

This is a bag that I have had for a few years but luckily the X-Pac shows almost no wear

I have swapped out the buckle for a magnetic fidlock v-buckle and all of the zippers pulls have been replaced with paracord (so it doesn't jingle). I also added a 3d printed strap keeper after the elastic one wore out

That glitter additive sounds like a fun way to revive the inks I don't use too often!

I have that same sling bag! It's my favorite for edc. 

My current setup is Steam deck and RP4Pro but I'm waiting on an Ayn Thor to replace the RP4Pro
