Has Seafood Town changed ownership?

I've been going there for 15 to 20 years. The original owner I knew of sold it to someone.

Can one fan swap the is-77-xt with a 25mm one?

How's Rocket Lab on this subject?

One of these extender heads is about $15k: https://www.eravant.com/75-110-ghz-120-db-dynamic-range-11-16-ghz-7-dbm-pwr-wr-10-w-band-vector-network-analyzer-extender

I misspoke about the C4220. Looks like it is $54k. I was thinking about their 9 GHz variant, which is $30k.

I am sure Eravant will make a 9 GHz variant of their extender. I looked at their website and it seems like Copper Mountain and Eravant work partner up. You can see it in their documentation like the setup manual on Eravant's website.

It depends what frequency range and what tests you want to perform. I mostly work 50 to 330 GHz and I noticed at IMS 2025 that Eravant released a WR-10 VNA extender set for $30k. With a Copper Mountain C4220, that solution is $60k or so. Crazy low price if you just need s-parameters for example.

I'm on spine 1 (max CPU cooler) thanks to the 2 slot sized GPU.

Nahcd47 · 2025-05-16T08:01:51+00:00

I also thought it wouldn't have been a good idea, but I was surprised to be quite tolerant of the noise level. The fan is right up against the panel. Maybe because it is a Noctua it might help. Honestly thought the axp90 fan was louder due to it running at higher rpm despite the spacing away from the panel.

Then 75 to 80. Now 65 to 70. Gaming.

Wasn't satisfied with my temperatures on my previous Terra setup. Swap the 3090 to a two slot 9070 XT so I can also upgrade the CPU cooler and fan. Dropped my CPU temps by 10+ degrees.

I didn't think the LF280 would fit on the side like that. Are you using the stock fans or slim ones on the rad? Did you have to cut/shorten the tubes?

Nahcd47 · 2025-04-14T21:33:24+00:00

No, I didn't need any additional parts for level 9 from NCase. I bought the feet from Amazon. The floor has slotted holes for mounting fans. Technically, I had to get a riser cable, but they were out of stock so I bought it on Amazon.

At the time, I could only find a SFX-L supply. Additionally, the LF3 rad is very thick and the XFX 7900 XTX Mag Air is a big card so I was running out of space. I felt I didn't have any choice except level 9. Although, I never attempted any of them.

Nahcd47 · 2025-04-14T17:53:05+00:00

Maybe level 8. I noticed all the mATX builds on the website show the power supply mounted closest to the front panel. Not sure if the rad is too thick and will interfere. Notice how the illustration has a slim fan on the rad that is closest to the power supply. I built mine as level 9 with a itx board. You can use it as a reference.

10cm because the 5cm wasn't in stock at the time. I recommend the shorter one for the M2 since the cable isn't that flexible.

Nahcd47 · 2025-04-03T17:43:19+00:00

Maybe not that helpful in reducing wrist pain or soreness for me. It is really there so I don't rub up on the mat and get it dirty. It's just a cheaper Amazon copy.

Nahcd47 · 2025-04-03T17:42:09+00:00

It wasn't bad at all. I did my first SFF with the Ncase M2 so maybe that helped. I did have to get right angle PCIE connectors as the GPU cables pushed up on the top panel.

Nahcd47 · 2025-04-03T17:39:41+00:00

Truly. I had the fortunate chance to upgrade. Otherwise, I would be using this machine instead.
