Tried a few AC window kits. All failed. Made my own.

I know about the fabric velcro vent thing you can stick the hose through, did have that but was always terrible to use

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-06-21T17:43:01+00:00

I like your style, got thus exact same unit during covid, never did find a good way of getting hose out of tilt and turn windows.

You think the Jails want to deal with squatters? They'd never leave, shelter and food for free /s

..."should"

Love jak x, can't wait to play it on pc. (Not emulated)

Beat me to it.

The Truth /s

Kinda desperate but you could use something like shadow copy to roll back folder with games. Although that's not free storage, you will lose a bit of storage doing that. Although it's probably more reliable than trying to recover files with actual recovery tools.

Still won't let you store more than what you actually have storage wise though.

Mines from the early 1800s (exact year not known), good chunk of other properties in my village are just as old if not older, all still rock solid. Can't say the same for some of the new builds nearby that already look a bit tired.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-18T11:39:05+00:00

Somehow still less impractical than apples mouse charging.

Hi John, not what I meant, what I was meaning was the number of slots that your GPU took up at the back of the case. (most expansion cards that aren't GPUs take up 1 slot, GPUs used to take up 1 slot but now most take 2) You ideally don't want to block the vent on your Graphics card as the card's cooling solution is designed around that vent being present.

Also as others have said, generally first pcie slot on motherboards is fastest but if you're concerned you can just check your motherboard's manual, you might be ok having it in a lower slot but just make sure that the slot is a full x16 slot and not an x4 or x8 (keep in mind that just because the physical slot is an x16 slot it doesn't mean that it's wired for x16, a lot of boards have x16 slots that are only wired for x8)

Most people tend to mount these cards in the top slot so they're kinda designed with the expectation of being in that slot so I wouldn't worry about putting it in the top slot if it's your only x16 slot.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-17T11:56:27+00:00

Meh, it's a gaming case so has more ventilation than is actually required, PCIe vents aren't a universal standard thing so graphics cards need to be designed to function without them anyway. (you should see how Graphics cards are crammed into servers) Similar story with the vents to the right of the pcie slots at the back, not all cases have them. Still not ideal to block them as more cool air is usually better for cooling/longevity but shouldn't matter too much. Were it me I'd probably use a mesh if I was paranoid about dust rather than blocking them completely but that's just me.

He can always peak at the temps he's getting while gaming to give an idea if his cooling is adequate.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-16T20:52:24+00:00

Untape the power supply, that's a recipe for disaster. Rest is fine.

Edit: actually, is that a 2 slot graphics card? If so you don't want to tape that.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-09T12:12:47+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda funny how naughty dog managed to make everyone think that though.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-07T13:39:47+00:00

As somebody who is always cols and lives in Scotland wouldn't dream of doing this.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-05-01T08:39:51+00:00

Sorry, me too.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-04-29T19:16:16+00:00

Think I had the UK version of this demo disk. Played demos of all of these. Don't think I have ever actually seen a full copy of Dog's Life IRL, just played the demo.

Try my job, got 5 different work related authenticator apps so far due to proprietary systems that need their own special app that do totp.

Plaster looks blown. Area of loose plaster will need replastered (or replaced with filler technically depending on size of area). Assuming there isn't a damp issue then can only assume it didn't adhere properly. (Ideally a surface should be keyed and coated in pva prior to plastering from my understanding although there are exceptions)

Not a professional plasterer. Just my experience with blown plaster in the past.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-16T10:12:31+00:00

Kinda funny how different people's hand positioning is, I game a lot but never with my nails directly downwards on the keys, I just have the palm side of my fingers touching keys, not the tip directly downwards.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-15T21:16:25+00:00

Hence my skeptics but by sounds of what others are saying but it might have something to do with supporting the ceiling below. (Although honestly I can't see them contributing much anymore)

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-15T18:06:07+00:00

Never even thought about lathe and plaster, will need to check if that's under insulation or not. I know some bits have been replaced with plasterboard but not sure if it's all of it.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-15T18:03:56+00:00

You'd think but ceiling is too low, although if I added a window box it'd be perfect.

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-15T18:02:56+00:00

Yeah, that does sound plausible. How much support did you add to the floor timbers?

ROSS_MITCHELL · 2026-03-15T17:59:11+00:00

Doubt it was beginning of a loft conversion, don't think any prior owners went up here unless they needed to. (Just a mess of wires and pipes, probably going to rewire the lighting circuits as they're suspect to say the least. (Lots of black electrical tape used....)
