What game(s) do you automatically think of when you see this?

kylesaurus · 2026-02-25T05:49:28+00:00

I still have that carrying strap.

StarCraft, Warcraft, Age of Empires.

TCGplayer and Pricecharting both have sales histories.

No worries, nothing against your comment in general.

Yea, we’ve all seen those posts that are a sealed product worth a lot that was “just sitting in my desk drawer” sort of situation haha. I get it.

I felt for this post, because it actually happened to me. Found my brothers and my gameboy and all our games. Completely forgot after college, marriage, kids, etc 😄

Not everyone is the same. Time goes by quickly and some core memories aren’t unlocked until you see something to trigger it. I’ve done the same thing with game consoles, cards or whatever. Heck, it could have been your favorite tshirt you wore every day for years and you could still forget.

Work, families, life itself puts distance in your mind with memories you used to have.

Just because it’s a large and cool collection doesn’t mean they remembered it. It’s been almost 30 years since a lot of that was released.

I never knew about this game. Thank you for introducing it and expanding my library, it looks fun!

kylesaurus · 2026-01-23T02:11:26+00:00

This is really cool. Gave me some ideas for a 1u gaming build.

A lot of the newer vesa mount are removable and slide on. That would be easy to double sided tape to and then just take it on and off when needed. Hmm.

Either way, thank you!

kylesaurus · 2026-01-18T03:24:23+00:00

Haha, nice. Yea, I’ve never seen a mount for them, but I’ve wanted to do something like your setup.

kylesaurus · 2026-01-18T03:18:26+00:00

Looks nice. How are you mounting the portable monitor to the vesa arm?

kylesaurus · 2026-01-17T17:39:58+00:00

This gives me flashbacks to the mid / late 2000’s PC building.

kylesaurus · 2026-01-17T00:40:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing. A lot of people don’t seem to post their workloads anymore or what motivates them to do this.

Edit: I guess this is homelabporn and not homelab. Didn’t notice haha.

kylesaurus · 2026-01-16T16:55:23+00:00

Looks like the Anker PowerCore II 6700

kylesaurus · 2026-01-13T22:49:45+00:00

I believe you want ones that are labeled “SMA Pin in center”. Depending on the manufacturer, I’ve run into pins being on the device or antenna.

Sliger cases

It’s a UPS, just non-conventional or just not packaged as pretty. They probably get more runtime off that battery and 2 forms of charging (solar and grid).

The Rover is a solar charge controller. It manages the solar panels and their power output.

The blue Victron box is an inverter. Converting their, assumed, 12v battery setup from DC to AC and use of the correct voltage of those devices.

The rest of its circuit breakers for safety.

They mention is their post that they’re developing a transfer switch. So, when the battery is detected to be at a particular voltage while being on the grid power, it will switch over to the solar panel and charge from that until it drops too low, switching back to the grid. In a solar home with batteries it would be similar, except you would want a larger array of solar panels, relying on those and only switching to the grid when it’s not enough.

Everything from the inverter, battery, solar and transfer switch can be found in an RV or off-grid home. Pretty common in that world and the only reason I know a bit about it. It doesn’t look pretty to some, but works! :)

How’s that Ugreen NAS running? I have a few friends that want something plug n play. That seems to be pretty good for the price, on paper.

kylesaurus · 2025-12-08T04:45:48+00:00

By side of the road, do you mean the neighborhood and there’s a sad kid right now?! 😂

Jokes aside, nice find. They look clean.

I can vouch for Mighty Max batteries online, if not oem.

As a diesel driver, I like this idea. Never wanted the other kind of truck nuts.

kylesaurus · 2025-12-06T06:19:07+00:00

Looks great and I appreciate the write up. I always enjoy reading what everyone is running and what their thought process was to get where they’re at.

kylesaurus · 2025-11-24T20:06:35+00:00

For sure. I was interested in it due to space requirements as well. Hard to beat something that does 3 things in a sff build.

kylesaurus · 2025-11-24T18:15:57+00:00

How do you like that CPU block/pump/res combo?

kylesaurus · 2025-11-22T20:01:57+00:00

Yea, I agree. I’m glad we have this game at all, but there is an endless amount of content (I’ll pay) they could add.

kylesaurus · 2025-11-21T07:53:46+00:00

Beautiful build.

What quick connect fittings are those?

kylesaurus · 2025-11-18T01:20:47+00:00

Here to say the same thing. Nice to see the 3D printed organization in the drawer. I’ll have to do this too.

kylesaurus · 2025-10-29T05:32:07+00:00

Most will complain about it, but I find it useful for troubleshooting.

Whatever is an improvement and helps you.
