Hey man good to see you. Yah.. the site has gone through its share of struggles, but its still here.

[Airbozo]

Howdy!

Still here, trying to figure out a reboot plan. I have some ideas, just need some time and traction.

SteamID: Airbozo (what else?)

[AmEv]

Same name on Steam as here.

I've got a few projects that I'm planning on posting (and finishing) here once I have funds/materials.

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

What's ironic is that I now work for Supermicro in the Chassis department... I am actually working on a custom chassis with 12 HDD's and 4 SSD's in a very small footprint... (Filing a design patent now)

Some amazing projects going on here that may never see the light of day. I also have access to a huge inventory of cages and other chassis parts that might show up in an upcoming mod.

I am also working with the Gaming System PM to see if we can sponsor a mod or contest.

Hey, a contact into Supermicro! (minor thread derailment, I know, but...)

Well... I have this (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121405&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Server+-+Accessories-_-N82E16817121405&gclid=Cj0KEQiA9P7FBRCtoO33_LGUtPQBEiQAU_tBgEv_LO9d JPaHVwIiqUDNXvXZq9BcZWy6TcsWANjEJfsaAgXZ8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds), and some of the latches broke. (A 3rd broken one is elsewhere)

Where's the best place to get some replacement latches?

Also, when I bought it (used, admittedly), I had none of the screws.

[Airbozo]

AmEv,

PM me your contact details and the model number (if you can find it, otherwise I will go off the picture) and I can send out replacements.

Steam ID is adventrising, but I go by Boomerbile.

I still lurk. I've been collecting some fairly eclectic parts that will eventually go into a fairly crazy build, but my wife and I have some debt payoff plans that suck up most of our money and I spend all of my time studying for my AREs to become a licensed architect (which I hope I am finished with by this time next year).

So maybe 2018 is when I show the world the true potential of case modding (self-congratulate much?).

Related to computers and gaming, I've been taking our designs at work and putting them into VR. If all goes well this will huge for our company in the coming year or two. It could easily double our business.

I got bored today.. Decided to water cool my r9 390... They get very hot... Like 75-95c... No bueno

Gunna be very interesting when I try and squeeze a 1200w PSU and another r9 390 with water cooler

[AmEv]

Huh. I have a 9800 GTX that I'm considering watercooling (since the fan was stuck on "jet turbine" mode), but I don't know if if would be worth it.

It definitely wouldn't be from a financial standpoint. You'd be better off spending the amount of any water cooling setup on a new GPU since the 9800 GTX is so old.

But if it's fun and you make something yourself for cheap, that's really the value of modding.

Yeah, didn't realize how underpowered it was until I saw some specs/benchmarks. Will make a good decoration soon, possibly, that big board!

I still lurk from time to time, glad to see some old familiar names. :)
