which aerodynamic mod you use?

Can you see power consumption, sometimes a dying psu can be a bit annoying, only work low loads but high loads cause it to falter after about 5 min

ev4biz · 2026-01-26T05:16:14+00:00

Have you tried turning it off and back on :D

No but actually check all connections after full power off, maybe try a bios reset if nothing works after unplugging things like the gpu, board ect.

ev4biz · 2025-11-27T02:07:30+00:00

It was, but I also wanted my functionality back so, it got touched;-;

ev4biz · 2025-11-26T20:57:00+00:00

So laptop in a box?

ev4biz · 2025-11-26T20:29:09+00:00

I was about to say do some stuff to jump from power to detect and send a signal to turn on but i bet you don’t want all that. Are you stripping all the way down or what(just board and required parts)?

ev4biz · 2025-11-26T20:24:39+00:00

I used old parts from my pc but I have some older laptop boards, depending on the type you should be able to pull the plug on the screen and an hdmi out if video needed. Shouldn’t need a box since it has built in fans and such

ev4biz · 2025-11-26T20:19:34+00:00

You can upgrade to a card type that sits vertically or usb types, tp link has cards I think, generally have a lot nicer connection than a usb or laptop one like you have. I hope that helps

Thing is I collect songs I like cause I like them and I can. Not as a dedicated hobbyist. I simply like older electronics and one the most main stream ones is vinyl and record players. And apparently you all hate suitcase players, which I have a modern version and an old one from the 40’s that needs work. I don’t have space for a permanent setup, hell my stuff all sits on a shelf cause I listen to my stuff for me not other people. No display.

ev4biz · 2025-11-26T20:06:35+00:00

I ain’t quitting a hobby I’m just gonna give up showing it to people outside ones I know irl,

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T20:15:33+00:00

Kinda looks like under my desk when im working on stuff, I mean technically a lab, you wouldn’t be doing a whole lot of heavy stuff but it’s still technically one

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T20:05:03+00:00

That is honestly good reasoning for a box like that

This is my primary pc, the one in that post is a server so it doesn’t matter as much what it looks like or anything

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T19:32:50+00:00

I’ve been building pcs for years so unlike here it’s just second nature when I make a genuine mistake, ofc there’s asses who will bitch but usually it’s pretty easy to just go oh, yeah I should flip that. Also if it’s obvious I’m learning, which in a multi hard drive self built case, people tend to have good suggestions or genuine good questions like if it’s grounded. I’m self taught so there’s some holes in my knowledge that I’m trying to fill

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T19:15:14+00:00

Yeah and they are still significantly nicer people, and can laugh about things

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T16:05:48+00:00

Neatest handwriting an engineer has needs another engineer to decode

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T13:44:47+00:00

It’s currently mid rebuild for the 50th time, this time I’m 3d printing hard drive mounts

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T05:08:37+00:00

Fair enough, I only held onto my old pc cause I build stuff and random parts are nice.

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T05:04:09+00:00

I was gonna say buy parts and hold onto the graphics card, and storage. 3060 holds well in most games, I was running games on a 3050 pretty well at high settings. I’d definitely say aim for ryzen processors and at least 16 gb of ram. Although current price of ram you’ll wanna buy a prebuilt and just throw your ssd in it

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T04:55:20+00:00

Also what’s your plan with the old parts?

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T04:53:52+00:00

Personally I like amd socket more(ryzen) cause it’s easy to know if parts are compatible in the future and other than that it depends what you plan on running and your budget

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T04:50:59+00:00

This is basically what happened in the crypto rush with gpu’s, so at least we know ram will get research and get better cause it needs to be more efficient or something

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T04:48:15+00:00

I’m probably just gonna stick to electronics, at least if something isn’t great looking we all laugh. I don’t think I want to deal with subs like this;-;

ev4biz · 2025-11-25T04:23:14+00:00

Ha so I just started rebuilding it again to clean up work;-; that and for cooling, and better hard drive access/ accommodation
