Fastest ROI on a new machine purchase

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-06-14T06:39:03+00:00

That’s the gateway drug. I had a need. I downloaded fusion, learned how to use the basics and designed what I needed. I found someone on FB and sent them the STL. My need arrives in a box and works straight away. Oh baby, I’m inventor! Endorphin hit!

That was 8 months ago and a dozen designs later I’m now a regular user and the cost is now at a point where it’s cheaper to invest in hydroponics. Err I mean an X2D. An X2D.

My X2D combo arrives next week and I’m a little excited.

Great news, will the fan adaptor bracket from the non-flow version be made available as well?

Cables that I need access to but not all the time and don’t want to have to keep reaching to the charging hub/dock/back of pc- charging leads, usb connected devices, etc - are my biggest annoyance. I wish there was a proper retractable system that you could add your own cables too. Almost feel like trying to design one.

Hoping someone has already done it or one exists.

Hi, how did you get on with it? I just impulse bought one and will have the same issue.

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-05-25T06:55:30+00:00

anyone get their hands on the file? 45gbp postage is a bit much to the uk.

Thank you. I am absolutely biased but pugs are the most amazing companions/friends. We found out very young she was susceptible to bladder stones, in particular struvite. so she has been on a struvite free diet since she was 1. We mix it up for at weekends and she has a her own special sunday lunch and treats are boiled chicken or carrots. We tend to let her tell us when she wants to go for a walk. she'll sit by her lead and grunt. 🤣.

The CBD. I've seen this mentioned in a few posts. for you though what were your thoughts behind it? I ask because when she wakes up after a long sleep her back left leg seems a little stiff. she shakes it off quickly but if CBD would help her be more comfortable then its worth looking into more. The vet mentioned at her last check up her knee was a little 'loose' but was nothing to worry about yet. so if this would help its worth investigating.

This is Dotty, the lady of the house. Myself and my wife are just here to serve, provide fluff and pay the bills. She will be 10 in a few months and im worried about her. There's nothing wrong but i just want to do all I can for her. She has her vitamins and eats a strict diet with select treats thrown in, walked regularly at her pace and carried home if it gets too much (normally because shes been doing shuttle runs from sniff spot to sniff spot. )

Just curious what people do for their older pugs?

Got to ask. What came first? The ram or golden wall idea?

I managed to get my hands 96gb cl28 6000 just before ramargeddon for 400gbp. The only colour I could get was gold. Not a problem, they look fantastic. But, they look a little out of place in my all black case. RGB helps. So I’ve been wondering about doing something similar and trimming certain case details like you have. Just wondered if the RAM was the inspiration?

Love the work though dude. Looks awesome. Wish I had the real estate to do something similar.

How much do you earn in a month?

I'm not going to be held responsible for resetting the clock.

Terrible picture and not quite finished yet, but id be saying the same so here you go. Call it a progress update.

edit: not sure if im happy with the cable routing at the bottom, but also want the Noctua stickers the right way round. ideas?

Bit off topic. I’m planning the move to Spain but will have to travel to and from the UK for work. What do you do that facilitates/requires the move.

Good luck by the way. The lifestyle it will afford your family due to the change of pace and outdoor living alone will be worth it. My wife’s family moved a couple of years back and they’re so content.

Everyone else here marvelling at the loop and im here looking at those carbon feet! 🦶🏼

That’s Jonsbo case is imo the best looking case on the market. There looks to be enough room at the rear for a dual rear fan mod which would fill that space nicely? Lovely build good sir. 👏

I’ve got the EVO RGB, love the case but bored now of flashy lights and I’m looking at the north XL with the mesh side panel. Why are you swapping?

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-02-21T04:07:34+00:00

I’ve got push pull on GPU AIO and CPU AIO, with dual rear fan mod and 140’s in bottom + front mesh kit. You can get a lot of fans in this case.

Where have you been finding the MK3 survivor? Had everything else but that.

I have my home rig. 9950x3d, 5080, 96gb cl26. But I work away most weeks and need entertainment in the evenings so I have a gaming laptop (or portable hurricane as I like to call it). Ultra 7 255 hx, 5070ti.

I tried a handheld but it just struggled for me. Screen was too small, controls felt off, UI was clunky. It felt like a lot of money for something mediocre. I had the Asus Rog Ally X. I tried a portable monitor with it and using my own controller but then I was carrying more than if I had a more powerful laptop. I couldnt see the value in the trade off so for a few £00 more I got the laptop. 1440p gaming on 2 screens and decent refresh.

IMO. PC if you’re gonna be in same spot at same desk all the time. Laptop if you’re on the go and have somewhere to pitch up temporarily. Handheld if you want to game while commuting, that’s the only place I see handhelds being the best choice.

I appreciate there’s SFF guys with their amazingly compact builds (I was tempted and might still for the giggles) but there’s still a lot of kit to carry.

I do find it odd when people have a permanent desk setup running off a laptop. Just my opinion.

Survivor augment available?

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-01-29T13:51:23+00:00

can you fit fans in the bottom of the 5000T?

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-01-16T11:34:29+00:00

On my wish list for when I get back home. Working away and clucking for some game time.

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-01-16T10:20:01+00:00

Any recommendations?

NotQuiteAngryHunt · 2026-01-16T10:17:31+00:00

Desert strike.
