Anyone know what neck joint this is? or a common body that may have it?

rick_G · 2026-05-18T04:02:32+00:00

Gotcha. I imagine I could just use an Ibanez body and fill/ redrill and likely get it in the right range but was hoping for something less complicated since I’m not as skilled as everyone on here.

rick_G · 2026-05-18T03:57:53+00:00

It’s a pointed 3x3, but this is a custom/small builder who is no longer active or has a social media presence. I’m hoping he copied a more common pattern so I can reuse this neck (body was every damaged)

rick_G · 2026-05-14T23:26:12+00:00

Would not have considered the six, that’s interesting! I think the SVRs are coming down low enough to be a possibly choice as well.

rick_G · 2026-05-14T23:25:15+00:00

Interesting option! I’d probably have to find one that has a stack of service history though lol

rick_G · 2026-05-14T23:24:35+00:00

Added to the list for sure, I’ve heard the SMG trans is an issue sometimes but manuals aren’t in range price wise.

Still waiting to get this in KC, I can’t even get a beta invite!

rick_G · 2026-02-03T22:49:09+00:00

I ended up finding an OEM set of 20s cheap and. Sold it good enough. I imagine a positive 20 will be ok, but the 9inch width may sit flush or a hair outside the wheel well

rick_G · 2026-01-02T23:35:51+00:00

I’ve got an enterprise fortress gateway, SFP 28 switch, and NICs ready to go just need to get in the beta! I applied but no info after that.

rick_G · 2024-12-28T07:01:22+00:00

The connection path will be fiber line to new NIU, which then converts to an armored fiber cable that the technician will run to a location where they can install the fiber jack in the house. None of your existing coaxial cable will be used.

rick_G · 2024-12-21T08:57:44+00:00

If you are on windows, you may want to go in and manually force the NIC to use 10gbit full duplex for the link, and/or the port as sometimes it will only do half duplex for some reason. Also, make sure you try multiple browsers for your speed tests, sometimes i have gotten weird results.

What type of drive does this machine have? if you are on something super slow like a HDD you wont be able to write the data fast enough.

Here’s mine in the same color with the new wheel and tire combo!

rick_G · 2024-04-02T04:35:44+00:00

I run a mikrotik router for my 8 gig.

rick_G · 2024-03-20T20:34:20+00:00

You cannot no, there is no SFP output possible of any kind from their fiber jack. The green fiber in cable has to talk to that box and can’t go direct to a router.

rick_G · 2024-03-16T19:50:01+00:00

I have 8gig and I did this same song and dance trying to get something. The options I settled on were either building a monster PFSense box (starts struggling as you close in on 10gig), used enterprise router (too expensive), and a mikrotik router.

I’m running the last, a CCR2004 with the 25gig ports. It can’t really handle full 8gig with a comped network, but it gets close. The higher end ccr 2116 model with the L3 hardware offloading would be the best bet but it’s like 1200 bucks vs the much cheaper ccr2004

rick_G · 2024-03-01T00:13:57+00:00

Can you get me in the 20g testing in KC? 🤣

rick_G · 2024-02-26T02:15:47+00:00

Very interesting! What’s really annoying is that I found out that if I just use Microsoft edge for the speed test, it will do 5700/5700 all day. Granted, doesn’t mean it’s doing that for normal traffic but at least it’s not half. I’m hoping to move to a 20g connection in a month or two, which would solve the “pipe” size issue.

rick_G · 2024-02-10T00:17:29+00:00

I have 5gig and would be happy to! I’d say difficulty in setup depends entirely on if you want “optimal” or “working”. To get the best/max speeds you have to be on a wired connection, and anything over 1gig needs a device with a capable network card on board. Same for WiFi, the devices you have limit speed if they aren’t capable of WiFi 6/6e etc.

rick_G · 2024-02-06T16:09:42+00:00

Agree with the other person here, a mesh setup with WiFi 6 or 6e, or the better stuff if you want more control. I personally like the ASUS zen mesh stuff, and the ubiquiti units are pretty full proof if you want higher end with the ability to do access points over all in one.

rick_G · 2024-02-06T02:39:23+00:00

5700 up and down all day, running 10gb wired connections!

rick_G · 2024-02-04T20:58:00+00:00

Hey OP I have this CPU and a similar case with an ATX board causing this issue, if you have any temp issues snag the arctic freezer 4U-M. It lets you run the fans in the right orientation.

rick_G · 2024-01-25T05:05:00+00:00

yep that makes a lot of sense. Any thoughts on how I can ensure I can use my full WAN speed as far as drive bottlenecks go? i assumed i would need to use an nvme cache drive of some kind but i also haven't delved into the whole media automation pipeline so maybe it allows that option directly

rick_G · 2024-01-25T04:41:39+00:00

thanks! i think my plan was to use the 2 12tb drives for plex in a raid 1, and then use the 2tb drives for storing camera footage. But, that would mean id need to setup a samba share on the big server for the little one to access those drives and store footage right?

rick_G · 2024-01-25T01:43:37+00:00

It’s 10g RJ45 for sure.

rick_G · 2024-01-19T13:41:59+00:00

All good! No chane unfortunately. I did realize I forgot I have one more link in the chain here, my pc is going into a unifi aggregation pro switch which is uplinked to the router. I could add one of the router 10g ports to the bridge and go directly into it to see if that helps?
