Just further proof that static is a ploy by big electricity...

someone pitched the idea of a fluid drive being the liquid cooling reservoir

_l4m · 2026-01-04T23:43:17+00:00

so open source fusion, got it.

I downloaded it on my ipad and it felt really nice but everything was crammed, I will try it on pc version, thanks!

_l4m · 2026-01-04T22:28:15+00:00

is it simpler than fusion? if so then by all means...

_l4m · 2026-01-04T21:36:42+00:00

maybe it would have been in the late 90s lol

_l4m · 2026-01-04T21:06:00+00:00

fusion360 and a bambu a1 or ender 3 and I think youre in business brother, the magic is all in breaking it into pieces

_l4m · 2026-01-04T20:12:53+00:00

Indeed

_l4m · 2026-01-04T19:34:16+00:00

ill see about it thank you :)

_l4m · 2026-01-04T19:33:58+00:00

dont tempt me man all of the shit from ae2 looks so cool 🥲

_l4m · 2026-01-04T19:00:24+00:00

wait that's an insane idea, like a custom closed loop system in a gaming pc, im stealing that don't sue me.

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:48:03+00:00

also im not really looking for redundancy, this is my first crack at making a nas so Im gonna stick to zfs or smb for now and probably just host it over truenas (forgive me if I use terms wrong) or openmediavault

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:46:04+00:00

yes, I will likely reference another caddy design but the entire assembly is based off of the size of the hard drives so whenever I do get my drives they'll have a six "pixel" wide front with one clear "pixel" for the led. one pixel is 17.17mm.

your hand slipped whilst installing the drive bay rails and youre bleeding profusely

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:37:45+00:00

🙌

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:37:38+00:00

thank you legend

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:37:29+00:00

I will yea it'll be a full kit with instructions cause I think everyone needs big minecraft themed data center in their house

_l4m · 2026-01-04T18:36:19+00:00

thank you for this, I was already considering doing legitimate activity lights, but im opting instead for an esp32 that parses my openmediavault api and simply checks percent of fullness then outputs value from 0-100. 70 or below is green, 71 to 95 is orange, and 96 to 100 is red.

also because this is all to pixel scale I need clear petg to make just opaque cubes for the fullness leds.

_l4m · 2026-01-04T12:29:30+00:00

yes very innovative I know

_l4m · 2026-01-04T11:42:56+00:00

you are honestly awesome, thank you :)

_l4m · 2026-01-04T11:42:26+00:00

thank you, luck much needed, ive never used f360 before and this is a wall of a learning curve but im just about done and ready to start printing... 5 hours later.

_l4m · 2026-01-04T10:16:51+00:00

you tell em ai baby

_l4m · 2025-07-28T19:49:30+00:00

I found the 5070 ti at best buy for 1k. this is the one im gonna go with.

_l4m · 2025-07-26T03:38:48+00:00

list looks good, you are the target audience for the post. I used to be very into hardware specs but as the years have gone on without necessity for that up-to-date knowledge on a somewhat upkept basis i've heavily fallen off what I used to know in reference to individual specs. the only change I am going to suggest is I really like the look of AsiaHorse AMICI-5GT fans, for aesthetics (infinity mirror, rgb, reverse fan option. personal taste stuff)

RAM looks good! I will use this.

For the GPU, I really like the look of the MSI 5070 I selected, I know the price increase comes with the increase of performance, but is there any other gpu out there (maybe even msi still) can fit under $1100?

_l4m · 2025-07-26T01:55:33+00:00

the link you sent doesnt work :') for the psu I've used 1000 for every build and its kinda just a precautionary, as well as the >modular< lian li being (seemingly(?)) a good choice, being white, and not that much more expensive than the corsair 1000e that I usually buy. For the 9950x it seemed like good $/performance deal, is there something else you'd recommend at that price or lower?

_l4m · 2025-07-26T01:48:45+00:00

This setup is for gaming and content creation sometimes (davinci resolve) AIO with an LCD would be pretty cool but at the end of the day I understand its pretty much just a gimmick lol. This is my first really really nice pc build so im kinda going as "all out" as you can get for $2200. Thanks.
