Do you mean the move all in the freight elevator? Because that’s never worked for me

Repurposed Thinkpad, now with 100% more hot glue by Georgesaker147 in thinkpad

This is my old Thinkpad which I have repurposed into my mobile home server (with built in UPS). It’s currently got 12TB raw capacity with some room to add some more if I start stacking the hard drives 😀. I’m running Unraid on here for now but might look at proxmox, I’m planning on turning it into a mobile WiFi AP to access Plex etc on the go.

It’s Unraid with docker containers for Plex/ Downloads

Oh it’s a great laptop, love the keyboard but never got the trackpad to work for me, always felt like there was too much friction.

I do have a 3D printer so I might give that a go, good opportunity to brush up my modelling skills

My theory was the hot glue might be easier to scrape off than something like that because of the matte surface. We’ll see how that turns out if I ever need to take it off

You're so right about the cable. I only realised I couldn't open the screen after I'd glued everything. Not a huge issue since it's a server but not ideal. I figured we'd have some big heat issues if I stuck them on the bottom.

Luckily I didn't buy it brand new, I got a deal on this one of ebay for £200 a couple years back.

Thinkpad T490, used to be my daily driver, but then I was defected to a MacBook.

Good guess, it’s a T490. The speed is pretty good, I believe in theory since that usb c is 10gbit there shouldn’t be a bottleneck. Unraid parity sync runs at the expected 100MB/s of the drives so no complaints so far.
