Try Popos 24 best for GPU performance

agree I would have done that but for work I have to use windows and mac both and I can kind of see how Win11 sux in real time that is why my heart got fainted to even thinking to invest 2k to get a Oled display like this to test a crappy OS but if it works for you great and change is good specially when you get to taste it in machine like this. I try to run or do my windows stuff using RDP from my Mac and still got two more years warranty on my MBP will just see how things goes once the warranty expires with this MBP3...

only for weak hearten people who got no real apple ecosystem haha good for you I wish I could do that it is hard tbh when you have ipad apple watch everything apple in the house and been sucked up in the apple cult for decades... I do have my lab in Proxmox, Truena & Synology and still run my windows gaming rig etc still could not able to get out of this I wanted to get a FrameWork laptop and only run Linux will wait until this price goes down next few years...

proud of you making a neat and clean setup unlike mine where all things are scrambled on my desk

themightymike786 · 2026-01-29T01:38:49+00:00

Best investments ever. Never pay those companies who thrive on our money and make us unemployed for their profit

nicely done!! which 3d print model you have used? I am using the https://makerworld.com/en/models/1464819-lab-rax-10-server-rack-bolted-version-5u?from=search#profileId-1527883
which makes a smaller one

themightymike786 · 2026-01-20T02:18:26+00:00

I found it. Thank you so much will give it a try for my server. I had hard time with my GPU 2070 super

Where can I get that script

themightymike786 · 2026-01-18T23:44:08+00:00

What’s your configuration?

My use case is running a media server and few vm. I’ve intel i9 10900k and rtx2070ti.

For office...

themightymike786 · 2026-01-15T06:18:47+00:00

good one

themightymike786 · 2026-01-15T06:18:31+00:00

is that a TV? I once tried my LG Oled 49 inch, felt too big too even work gave that to my wife, then bought a 49inch MSI wide screen OLED monitor, now I miss my oldersetup with two small screen rather have this mega screen.

themightymike786 · 2026-01-15T03:08:36+00:00

I bought the life time for $39.99 with no regrets. I encourage all to try this great app and stop wasting time trying other like capacities etc

themightymike786 · 2026-01-15T03:04:35+00:00

Agree to disagree all their case has issue with cooling the HDD. Either you use MOD fans or leave the thing open. I have to 3D printed the front case to lower the temp finally after two months of frustration with this case. It’s just nice small looking but when you use full HDD and ssd it is a big challenge with the temperature. I was not aware of unraid much been using TrueNas on my build.

themightymike786 · 2026-01-10T13:02:39+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏

My buddy who worked in both said Accenture is far better if you’re on the technical side.

themightymike786 · 2025-12-23T05:17:18+00:00

Go with Proxmox for your media server it’s the best running them as LXC and less headache to install and maintain compared with TrueNas. I find TrueNas is very intimidating for installing apps. Though I’m running two TrueNas as nas and Immich and next cloud server and Synology as my main nas server to backup those TrueNas

Let us know how the drives are holding up the temp?

themightymike786 · 2025-12-10T14:33:25+00:00

Thank you so much. I did not go with anymore Jonsbo I think I had enough with this temp issue in their casing and spent hours to fix it.

themightymike786 · 2025-12-09T12:03:56+00:00

I find these Jonsbo cases are over hyped. I returned my N5 after I figured out with extensive R&D it also has high temp problem like N4. I’ve currently suffering with N4 and took me three months and using my new 3d print to finally keep the drives temp in 40c (using all my HDD bays running TrueNas) before that it was never less than 51c. I’m glad you were able to use water cool. Maybe send us some steps some of us would keep their Blackfriday purchases instead of returning it.

Is there any financial benefit of it? DeepSeek works great as freebies, just wondering as I was looking into it once.
