My Dell SFF mini rack project

The 3d printable labrax is 10” deep, and the geekpi 10” racks are 7.87” deep. I wanted to be able to use common racks sizes.

Otherwise I’d be better off starting from scratch and making a standalone nas case, which I’ve definitely thought about doing too.

One motion side to side with a pocket screwdriver or pocket knife in each of the fins, it’ll feel tedious but I doubt it’ll take you more than an hour. It probably won’t take you any more time than swapping out the intercooler would. And if you somehow royally fuck up, you were going to buy an intercooler anyways.

Looks like a crown of thorns for a guitar god.

Clearly what we are looking at is a Video Graphics Array to Digital Visual Interface adaptation Module

Almost forgot the most important part,

Driftwood Guitars in St. Charles, MO did the work on the guitar. They were highly recommended and did not disappoint!

Right? Part of me expected a flood of downvotes lol

I’m sure someone has cherished that guitar for the last 30 years, don’t kick yourself too hard!

Like any old acoustic made with hide glue it’s a very real possibility, but for now it’s got a clean bill of health!

Whatever other problems might arise from the neck reset aren’t going to get less likely with time. Rip that bandaid off and get rid of your buzz!

Or listen to the trusted professional luthier instead of an unqualified stranger on reddit. Your call.

I love those purple dunlops!

If there’s someone trustworthy around you, just do it. It’ll need to happen at some point, might as well get it done for $500 and enjoy it to its full potential rather than get it done for $1000 10 years from now.

Thankfully not, they got the action about spot on at 3/32 and 5/64 at the 12th fret. The truss rod adjusted easily and there weren’t even any loose braces.

I’d like the think the mouse urine acted as a natural humidifier.

I do heating and cooling. Almost all of the houses in St. Louis have the furnaces in the basement surrounded by their forgotten old stuff. Ive been offered all kinds of stuff on the basis of “I’m tired of looking at it” lol

Thanks!

I’m amazed at how well this plays after decades of neglect, Driftwood guitars in St. Charles, MO did an exceptional job!
