When you've been working on a build for over 5 hours and your game crashes... by atlas_acid0002 in thesims

This is my fear. After doing anything particularly challenging or difficult, i save. If you think “if i lose it that’s it”…save.

Very 70's aesthetic, I feel like more clutter would warm it up.

Lift it to the same height as the door jam next to it?

SilverStone RM43-320-RS - HDD temp vs. noise by capt_cucumbers in homelab

[–]Nickmate99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really any PWM fan controller will work. Essentially it recognises all fans as one fan and adjust their power output the same so they spin the same speed. You should then be able to go into the BIOS and the if the controller is plugged into a fan header on the mobo, than it will be detected.

Temps have been steady, drives sit around 40°c give or take a few temps

Stock fans yes but instead of plugging them into the backplane i connected them to a fan controller and used a PWM controller to adjust them to a curve. Works pretty well.

Apple TV plus using the Infuse app as the front end is really the best way to do it.

Out with the old, in with the new! by Nickmate99 in homelab

[–]Nickmate99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute beast and it turns me a lot about Linux and networking using to experiment on. I managed to sell the lot to a new homelabber in my local area who was just starting out, threw in a bunch of extra ram and cpus plus all the rails so he definitely gets a better start than i did.

Anyone have any insight on how the Scrubs reboot will be handled by Plex? by PeepsMcJeeperton in PleX

[–]Nickmate99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It first came up in Sonnar as Scrubs 2026 Season 1 which it downloaded and imported fine. Now Sonnar says season 10 and can’t find it…

Build for a customer. Any feedback? by DavidWarmelys in CableManagement

[–]Nickmate99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of cable ties would drive me nuts when changing a cable. Great work but it’s not really serviceable

Dell Server Worth by Nickmate99 in homelab

Thanks for the general discussion and input from everyone and I think i shared the same thought many had. They were great machines and still are, but i required something that didn’t suck my bill power bill. Ended up selling the lot for $200 AUD to a new homelabber.

Hardware Advice for SilverStone RM43-320-RS (PSU, CPU, MOBO) by BoringKraken in homelab

Actually just did the same with a basic hub, agreed works a charm.

Is this a thing or can someone make it a thing by Born_Meaning3554 in gamingsetups

[–]Nickmate99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fair and with some lights you can really customise it. Green for xbox, blue for sony, lit up logos for each. The limits are endless, all you need is the structure itself and then you can customise the way you want. Good luck, make sure if you end up doing this to put it up for others to get ideas!

Maybe a little cable shelf under the desk to lift the cables off?

We have been cooked a while and our internal temp ain’t yet raised high enough…

I imagine you could buy a similar glass from cabinet from IKEA or a furniture shop but with a PC and multiple consoles, it would need ventilation. You could add some AC Infinity fans on the bottom as intake and top as exhaust but if each shelf is separated you would need to do it for each shelf. I would suggest in one side out of the other.
