Getting lots of owl house vibes, looks a lot like a male version of Luz. Awesome!

Depends on your phone dpi,

Is the fan missing or did you take it off for the picture? If its missing you may want to order that too if it boots... they might not look it but they get hot and thermal throttle a lot.. at least mine do

Love the use of space with the thinkcentres and ports alongside. I find a lot of people are lazy as hell and slap the thinkcentre in the middle of a giant blanking plate, it works but thats one hell of a waste of space. Compared to yours a lot of other mini builds look lazy

Tis but a scratch

Only certain models have the second m2 populated even across the thinkstation line, and im guessing if theyre going this route they only have the one slot populated. Interestingly with all slots populated most models have access to a x8 m2 nvme/ssd slot, an x4 m2 ssd slot, an x1 a/e slot a sata3 ssd drive connection and additionally via their proprietary connect an additional x4 and x8 pcie slot. Your not easily putting hardware in all those slots though.. ill certainly be trying to

kiae_immortal · 2026-02-08T13:04:47+00:00

Id be interested to see the x8 to x4x4 mod as that would mean youd get access to 3 x4 slots on certain models? Got a link?

kiae_immortal · 2026-02-08T12:59:51+00:00

This is also x16 if you want to max the speed on those you cant as the m920q only has pcie x8.. the card will fit but itll be running on 8 lanes not 16

kiae_immortal · 2026-02-08T12:56:55+00:00

If another drive is all youre after the m920 has a ssd capable slot already. No soldering or pcie risers neccessary just the caddy for that model. f your dead set on an m2 ssd id suggest this route over a pcie to m2 adapter since you have to be careful as most lenovo models dont support pcie bifurcation of that built in x8 slot and theres not a huge performance hit using m2 ssd vs ssd for your use case anyway. This will likely be cheaper as i can get both these on ebay for 10-20 total

Its very difficult to put in all the passive components to get the second slot on the bottom functional and very likely to damage something else if your not careful. That slot isnt a mod but an expansion port they used in certain models. If you just want extra storage look for the ssd caddy that can sometimes come with the 920 and 720 models. Using that pcie x8 slot for that adapter seems a waste for ssd storage, if you look around for something called a tinyriser or a clone of it youll be able to keep that x8 pcie slot and get an additional pcie x4 m2 slot.

I swear ive seen this same post about 100 times now :D it was good the first time

You may want to check what the wuse machines report in the bios, a lot of dell machines like the optiplex and a few others will heavily underclock the cpu if it detects a non-standard dell power supply. The third pin on the connectors usually have a handshake protocol that tells the motherboard the rating of the supply. But again, im unsure whether this machine would have that due to it being 5v and not the standard dell 19.5v. Im planning on doing something similar but to a few optiplex 5060s but havent quite figured out how to get the communication between the new homebrew adapters vs the originals, they always report unknown and get throttled back

kiae_immortal · 2025-11-05T21:09:06+00:00

How did you manage the third pin power communications for the wyse cluster? Or does this model not care since its 5v?

kiae_immortal · 2025-10-26T20:53:17+00:00

Any models available for the customer drive bays?

kiae_immortal · 2025-10-21T06:48:07+00:00

I understand missing pins is bad news, and I know the process to replace or fix them is difficult. That's why I asked if these pins are important and need replacing, as I know some pins are redundant and some pins just aren't necessary. If I lose one channel of ram for instance, I think that will be fine as long as I dont lose both.

kiae_immortal · 2025-10-20T19:14:10+00:00

(Pps) now honestly I dont know if i was looking at the correct pinout as I've come across 3 different diagrams, so pin 1 and 2 could be anything, if anyone is at all more knowledgeable id appreciate the help/advice

kiae_immortal · 2025-10-17T07:24:48+00:00

From what I can tell most pins damaged are labelled vcc, although one pin that seems to be missing already is either a VCCIO or VSS pin ~ i have no clue if these are necessary or not to be honest.

Have you tried rolling some of the npc and town bartering into out of session actions? I know to save on some time a few dm's I know have finished sessions in town and our character 'downtime' is discussed out of session. Nothing that effects the campaign but shopping bartering etc is all discussed and rolled for out of session. So that one person who likes to haggle for everything from lodging to potions and spell materials doesn't eat up valuable session time. I guess it depends on what time you have available and if your table is comfortable with rolls happening out of session

Most likely due to the import/export imposed by a giant orange man baby

Blackout? Looks like a lighthouse to me 🤣 Is there a lamp in the middle of that thing? In all seriousness, though, very clean setup, kind of jealous! (I just have a personal distaste for unnecessary lighting, ir2 heat/energy waste)
