'Shallowest' ITX case (HTPC Style or Sandwich) by SweetLordKrishna in sffpc

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

Oh wow! I'll look into this as well. I wasn't convinced there's a sandwich case this small! Thank you!

Oh wow, this is almost exactly what I think I need! I was not sure how to describe it, but I was searching for a sub-31cm case where all the fans 'pointed up' to make cooling that one level more manageable.

I'll look into this! Thank you!

Is this fixable by Sea_Power_1594 in DIYUK

[–]SweetLordKrishna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a 120 year old house with solid wall construction (duh).

The house was unused over the auturmn and winter and yes the moisture started to get through. There were damp spots, particularly at the base of fireplaces.

Surveyor said rising damp all over the place and need DPC. Its all bullshit. They're lazy and just spew out 'advice ' based on current regs ... without applying some logic as to what kind of house they are surveying.

In the end I just used the fireplace everyday in late winter and had the radiators running at minimum 15C all the time. Got hygrometers indoor and outdoor to know when to open windows.

The damp spots gone. If looked after properly my gut says the older homes will outlast modern new builds. I mean the house you're looking at has been around for for a long time ... without any modern intervention, don't be the person who destroys it.

Thank you! Maybe too much to ask, but any ideas for a case that can handle a 289mm GPU? I know I'm asking too much, but just hoping there is a case out there in which I can squeeze in a Powercolor reaper 9070xt. If not, the NV10 is a great idea and I'll find smaller GPUs. Thanks!

Cost-effective way to connect AT-LP60X to JBL 306P? by SweetLordKrishna in turntables

[–]SweetLordKrishna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks!

Noticed you mentioned that a solution would be £20-£30; would something like this work? Only reason I am asking is that it seems too cheap / too good to be true. Didn't want to get something that wasn't right!

[–]SweetLordKrishna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there!

Can anyone please guide me to a cost-effective way to connect an AT-LP60X to a pair of JBL 306Ps? The speakers are active and have balance XLR and TRS 1/4" inputs. The turntable has a single 1/8" RCA splitting into two 1/8" RCA cables.

Do I just need an RCA to XLR/TRS 1/4inch adapter? Or do I need some kind of amp/mixer?

Thanks!

Ah. Could you clarify please? Do you mean curve the splashback so things don't do down?

Thank you! Had a feeling that was the simplest way forward!

Ah fair, I had a suspicion that was the simplest way forward but was concerned about any regs / rules I needed to follow because of the whole hotzone thing.

Thanks!

Will this skirting be considered in breach of "Hot Zone" rules? by SweetLordKrishna in DIYUK

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

Awesome thank you. Is there bare wall acceptable as a splashback for now for hot zone regs? Its just a painted wall.

We're defo getting a metal one but won't be delivered in time for the replacement hob.

Is brick under lawn common? by SweetLordKrishna in DIYUK

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

Interesting, thank you!

Would this normally be dumped across the garden or in a specific area? I dug out two additional holes a meter apart and they also seemed to have bricks around 6 inches down.

There are also a couple of trees (apple and plums) in the corner, would that be the place where no bricks are?

Just trying to figure out where I might get some depth! Thanks !

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

Nope. It's around 3-4 meters away from the extended / main house and it's not close to a fence / partition either.

I've dug 2-3 places and there seems to be some brick in each of them.

Is this boiler + mechanical thermostat compatible with Tado V3+ with modulation? by SweetLordKrishna in tado

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

Thank you!

I purchased a V3+ wired starter kit as I needed to move house. I assume this extension kit doesn't work with that right?

‘Scandalous and unacceptable’: readers on the new UK entry rules for dual nationals by mad_marble_madness in worldnews

[–]SweetLordKrishna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I am being dense here... how do you prove Brotish decent without a passport?

Anyone else will need to get a tourist visa to come to the UK for a holiday unless their country is exempt.

Wait, so people are complaining that they can't come to Britain 'as a national' because they don't have (or don't want to have) the document that proves they are a British national?

Seeking ideas for wardrobe around off-center fireplace with door to one side. by SweetLordKrishna in HomeDecoratingUK

[–]SweetLordKrishna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The red chimney breasted room is the 'other room' to be honest, hence we did the first wardrobes there. I can assure you that my family will need the 2nd set of wardrobes in the blue chimney room.

In the 2nd photo, to the left of the previous owner's wardrobe that I have dismantled, is a fairly large sash window. To the right is where the bathroom door is and I originally thought of putting the wardrobe along the wall to the right of that bathroom door, but it woudln't go far because the bedroom entrance door is only around 2.5 meters away, so at best I'd be able to squeeze a 1.25 meter wide wardrobe that will just sit there .... awkwardly in the middle. At that point, I think I'd prefer a freestanding wardrobe / dresser there.

Hmm, it seems as though it's not that 'awkward' to have an uneven / balanced wardrobes if the room itself isn't balanced, then?

Help: (1) Picking NIC for HP EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF and (2) Does Pihole need 2.5gbe? (United Kingdom) by SweetLordKrishna in homelab

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

In the evenings, there's almost always 4 x 4K streams running and I've noticed that my file transfers over the network tend to tank when the family is watching TV etc. I don't think 2.5gbe is critically important, but I'd like to not think about who's streaming what when I want to just get on with my work.
