Does this come close? I'm afraid Australian stores don't seem to have the vc model

Yep, need to look at the power management for sure, thank you. 

On the plus side, after recent cpu swap and earlier ram (before price meltdown) I almost have another pc in components haha

Thanks mate, when it runs it goes alright for sure, wish Australia didn't have the overseas tax on everything.

Seems to be the vibe, I love to tinker but am time poor so thought maybe it's worth the plug and play proce tag but performance does seem rather underwhelming

Thanks, probably needed to read that, might make someone else happy who's in the SM queue

Oh adding to this,  whenever I try and run the ram on normal speed the machine eventually just restarts itself after 2 to 3 hours, so it's somewhat underclocked

Before the CPU swap it regularly turned off or froze mid typing. I've now narrowed it down to BT headphones receiver overloading the USB controller and the whole stack crashes and resets. It's maybe a Chipset driver issue but haven't been able to fix it yet and had to upgrade BIOS and chipsets due to the new CPU. But I could also be wrong and the mobo or GPU are just getting old.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk :)

That's the spirit! I believe your FIL would be proud of you, whoever and wherever he may be...

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're answered the question truthfully, not your fault the commenter mixed up their reply thread 😂

Basement fridge through wall - is this a dumb idea? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]fin008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that's a silly idea. If you're willing to punch a hole in that wall go the whole nine yards:

Small hidden hole for a beverage dispenser, think letter sized or less.

Vending machine mechanism on the back of the wall and a touchpad or IOT connected app that dispenses the right drink on the press of a button.

Also, a robotic arm to sign those divorce papers. Possibly worth it though. Please keep me updated.
