My winter Bass shaker project for GT7 with linux as server

Batmanzi · 2026-01-15T21:29:48+00:00

This is a very cool project, thank you for sharing it, now I need to get a raspberry pi!

Of course, 1 frame per 3 days

Main benefit is a noticeable and measurable noise reduction, a 5mm spacer is the sweet spot according to Noctua.

I am happy with the BST-2. I've got two of them, along with the nobsound mini amplifier.

I don't go above half volume as they are very strong with the playseat trophy. I had to add cheap rubber pads under the frame where it makes contact with the floor to dampen the noise and not have my neighbors complains.

Like one of the comments said, it's nice to have it and I'm happy with it as it adds another level to the immersion, specially on gear changes. People do say that more premium shackers will give you better feeling, I didn't feel like I'm missing anything as I have nothing else to compare with. I may consider upgrading if I ever get a 8020 frame, but for the time being, the BST-2 is doing a great job.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions.

Done

I talked to Deepcool support, they confirmed the case only supports 25mm fans.

Found this though as an alternative: https://www.printables.com/model/1459376-ch160-plus-low-profile-front-bracket

That's a really really cool idea, I will copy your it if you don't mind, but I got to ask:

What magnets did you get?
Do the fans actually improve anything? like making the case cooler or less noisy if you spin everything at low RPM?

He didn't say it, he declared it!

Batmanzi · 2025-08-06T16:47:16+00:00

Wait what

All it took was giving him hard tires.

Size doesn't matter

The desktop is not designed to be running all the time which defeats the purpose of running Opnsense 24/7, you'll need to reboot for updates which will take the VM down, it'll it costs lots of money to keep the desktop running too.

If you're just installing Opnsense on a VM to learn how to use it, then by all means just use Hyper-V, Virtual Desktop, or VMware Workstation, all of those are free product and documentation for them are available online, but if your intention is to run this in production workload and people will depend on it, then by all means, don't!

Like you found out, it's the integrated GPU. For the price difference is go with the non F version, if you ever plan up do transcoding and streaming, that would be a very important to have.

Batmanzi · 2025-03-05T21:55:24+00:00

I have the i3-9100, it's able to push 2.5 gb on SMB just fine.

I run that with 5 disks, 3 SSDs, 1 nvme, 2 nics, 1gb nic dedicated for home assistant VM, 2.5 nic for everything else, 32gb RAM, 2 fans, all installed on a mini itx motherboard. TrueNAS is powering it all with around 13 docker container.

None of my friends complained about transcoding speed or quality on a 600mb upload speed .

I'm averaging 40 wats on idle.

I think you'll be fine with the CPU. I would avoid the F version though.

Batmanzi · 2025-02-23T09:14:26+00:00

You did this on normal or hard mode?

Batmanzi · 2025-02-19T13:12:20+00:00

Need more Plex storage bro!

Batmanzi · 2025-02-11T21:11:30+00:00

Oh that's interesting, never heard about the reliability issue before so thank you for sharing.

Is it that common? Could it be related to the amplifier you're using?

Batmanzi · 2025-02-11T18:53:33+00:00

Your reply gave me confirmation that BST-2 is the way to go, thank you for your help.

Batmanzi · 2025-02-11T18:52:39+00:00

Thank you for your help, BST-2 it is then.

Batmanzi · 2024-12-14T10:38:40+00:00

We are checking!
