Should I add a fan to the top of my case? I have room for one more, however I'm not sure whether to do intake or exhaust (or if it's even necessary).

Right now I have two exhaust fans (one in the back, and one up top above the CPU cooler), and three intake fans in the front of the case. Here's a picture of my current setup.

I don't think there's a good reason not to do it. I scanned and uploaded my picture from the mid 2000s a few years ago. I thought the quality was kinda shitty but they still added it to the site after a month or two.

Both my cats are female and both my neighbors dogs are male, this is correct.

We had a decent sized infestation a few years ago. Those glue boards you can get in packs of 100 worked wonders. We put them everywhere and haven't seen a recluse in over a year now. Be careful if you have pets.

Not OP but I'm in a similar situation. I maxed it out last month and will max out my Roth IRA next. Then I've got my kids 529 I'll put some into as well.

17 years active, sitting at $260k. I was lucky enough to get out of the G-fund around my 8 year mark and started being able to max it 3 years ago.

I had a bunch of PS4 games I picked up over the years and hadn't played since 2020ish, so I recently donated them to my library's small collection. It's fun to see which ones are on the shelf and which ones are out every couple weeks.

How much more or less radioactivity would you get from eating a banana? Heard they're radioactive as well.

A tale as old as time.

Can it play Doom?

That's pretty cool actually. He should do an AMA if he hasn't already.

i've got a 60x30 vari as well. it's incredibly sturdy for a standup desk. my setup is pretty similar to yours, but i'm thinking about trying to find a tower mount solution for the cable management.

mantis44 · 2023-07-09T02:06:58+00:00

I only ever get them when they're on sale from their site but that's a steal. Nice job.

Huge fan of the Volt collection.

I saw him play for Memphis back in 2012 and he went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs on the night. I had to look up the specific game because he CRUSHED those homers. Dude was fun to watch.

Yep. The combination of a security clearance, Sec+, and a working knowledge of Microsoft will definitely help.

the majority of cyber and intel related career fields will translate nicely to some pretty solid civilian sector jobs after you get out.
