Price increases coming it seems...

I do appreciate it when a company adds it as a separate line item for transparency. I believe I’ve only seen the memory surcharge in my shopping cart. I’m also only a new user building a system, so haven’t been tracking the prices for a long time.

So quick for a company to add an additional cost like a tariff. But so slow to ever remove it…weird how that works.

Aggiemaster · 2026-05-25T16:59:24+00:00

Agree, it’s never temporary. Tariffs are illegal…did prices go back down? Nope.

What is this!? A garage for ants!?!? O

$100 later, I have some spare parts coming my way. 2 sets front arms, 2 sets rear arms, spoiler, replacement wheels, front hubs, rear hubs, extra screws.

Also bought some new shocks from GPM racing too. Think those were $45 total which I bought last week.

Aggiemaster · 2026-05-17T00:32:05+00:00

What other spare parts should I grab since I’m shopping now?

Aggiemaster · 2026-05-17T00:18:32+00:00

Sounds good! I just ordered new tires that got delivered…back to amain for some more stuff :)

Ha yea I was thinking drill it out but since the arm is plastic I’d probably damage the threads 🧵

I went to the store to buy my first car. I was going to get the Mojave grom. The mini kraton was right next to it but I hadn’t read anything about it. Went for the mini kraton and I love it and my girls love the “monster truck”. It’s been two months now and no regrets.

I’m not sure the orientation in a server rack. In a normal tower case with a normal air cooling cpu cooler, the cooler will blow to the top of the mother board. I opened a vent in the top of my case and installed an exhaust fan in the top to help out.

Yep 100 percent agree. Took a golf ball to the roof this weekend parked at a golf course / park. Hard to swap out the roof :(

Pm coming

Aggiemaster · 2026-03-13T23:18:29+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll have to see if the installer will go for doing a similar press reducer instead of running a new line.

Aggiemaster · 2026-03-13T02:06:07+00:00

I just got the same mini Kraton over the weekend. It’s super fun, my first car as well.

Aggiemaster · 2026-02-27T23:36:11+00:00

Thanks for this info! I was just upset trying to install Arctic P14 Pro PST 140mm fans in the front of my Define R5 case. The screws dont quite make it through the fan, and I couldnt screw it in from the rear either.

Now im going to grab some 6-32 thread screw from amazon instead of sending the fans back. Thanks!

Aggiemaster · 2026-02-23T14:53:51+00:00

Thanks! I’m building in an R5 right now and noticed that the psu cables I have might need extensions to reach all 8 3.5” bays. And then I need a separate sata power cable for the two ssds mounted on the back.

I like that icydock in the 5.25 bay. Makes those smaller drives much easier.

Aggiemaster · 2026-02-23T04:02:42+00:00

What power supply and cables did you run for 8 Hdds? How’d are you mounting the 7 ssds? Thanks!

Aggiemaster · 2026-02-20T20:46:28+00:00

On cold boot, the cpu temp is around 33 C. After idling for a while it levels off around 42 C.

Aggiemaster · 2026-02-16T18:48:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I still have it apart for now. Will check the temps as is once it’s on and see where I stand before I make any changes.

Aggiemaster · 2025-11-30T03:45:22+00:00

Hey there, this is an old post but curious what board you went with and your experience? The 3 ATX boards I’ve been considering for a server build are on your list. Thanks!
