    Neptune 2s wear and tear?

    I've had my neptune 2s setup as my go to printer that printed solid (and non stop sometimes) for over a year, but now, it's constantly failing to complete jobs. Everything that does finish comes out stringy, regardless of the type or age of the filament. I replaced the ptfe tubing hoping it...

    Fs/t 9700k and 970 water cooled rig. ATL area.

    Not looking to part out yet. I can commute to sell/trade. I am wanting to trade for a Ryzen cpu upgrade the wife's pc from the 2600 I have in it now and 16gb of ram. I'm not sure of what the system is worth at this point, so I'll throw a $600 tag on it. :) I'm not using it much so I'm open to...

    Oil addition to loop?

    I googled a bit, but didn't find anything so maybe it's just a really dumb idea. I thought I'd seek some [H] experience before rigging a test loop to try it. Would there be any downside to adding a splash of oil into a water loop? Why add it? Well oil and water don't mix. With good flow, a...

    Data usage by device?

    "managed firewall". Just had to change the search terms and I think I found the right rabbit hole to look down. I've google'd till my head hurt. I wasn't sure how to write this up, so I'll try to keep it simple. Ask if I'm missing any important details. Networking is something I've never been...

    Best all-rounder on amazon for $400?

    Just checking to see if anyone sees anything better than I did. (There's not a lot) I was tasked by my brother to find a tower pc for my niece. His only requirement, other than the $400 budget, is that it is multi monitor capable. Just needs the tower/desktop. He has or will get monitors. I'd...

    WTT large d5 reservoir for a smaller one

    I have a xspc d5 photon reservoir I picked up from here a while ago for a build I’m just getting to work on. Turns out it’s a few inches to big once assembled. I’m not picky on brand, this didn’t come with the pump, but I can include the swiftech I have if you happen to have a ddc combo to...

    New Synology owner tips/questions?

    Due to a recent thread here, you guys convinced me to go Synology for a NAS box. That said, before it gets here and I get it setup completely wrong,I thought I’d get some input on tips or settings I should consider. I’ve never used a NAS so I’m pretty new to the specifics. I skimmed through the...

    PC game controller recommendation?

    Any recommendations on a wireless game controller/set? I have bought a couple xbox clones on amazon, but they both randomly disconnect and have the odd bug here and there. It's just for couch gaming with stuff like lego games or mega man, so it doesn't have to be amazing. Reliable and possibly...

    Learning to code through Minecraft? (for a kid)

    Wtb ps4

    I’m looking to pickup a ps4 with 2 controllers. Beyond that I’m not super picky. Prefer decent condition and a box would be awesome, but not essential. Mods/upgrades/ whatever don’t bother me as long as it still plays disk games fine. My budget is $200. I have a little wiggle room if any extras...

    Does skylake have the nic in cpu?

    I’m working on a pc that won’t communicate with the domain. It says it’s connected to the network and it sends packets. It just never receives any back. We tried switching ports, cables, all the easy stuff. We replaced the mobo (onboard NIC), but the issue remains. Some are suggesting cpu, but...

    Cored flex tubing

    I’m considering using some copper pipe bends to clean up the look a little. Talk me out of it? Haha I can get a stick of rigid copper pretty cheap and can make pretty good sweaping 90° Bends.

    system usage monitoring software

    Is there any software that will monitor system resources over say a week and graph it or provide useful feedback? I run a home server and I’m trying to figure which path to take on upgrading. Ie, is more ram enough or is the 2500k too slow, just internet? Etc. I have to break down the water loop...

    Shielded vs unshielded wiring a house.

    I plan to run cat 6 through my house to hook up some poe cameras and just to make sure I don't have to rely on wifi everywhere. That said, what's the benefit of shielded? It's significantly more expensive. I plan on running 2 leads to each of 4 rooms so maybe 8 to 10 runs total (assuming 2...

    Using a sata disk drive via usb?

    I have a tower without a 5.25 slot. That’s fine, But as a htpc, it’d be nice to scrap the bluray player backup if possible. I have a drive from the old tower. And I bought a sata to usb adapter. It converts to a usb2 for power and a second port that’s 3.0 for data and I’d suspect auxiliary...

    First attempt at acrylic etching

    Shitty picture, but it's a start. Turned out better than I thought it would. The border around the cutout isn't final or secured hence the loose look. Sadly after googling dell dimension mod for ideas, one of the few were pretty much the same color scheme I'm going for but whatever, I can be...

    Dummy laptop for a phone?

    I have an iPhone 7 plus through work and there are a couple apps that I could really use a keyboard and larger screen for. Is there such a thing? I've seen slide out keyboards for a regular 6 which would probably be easier, but I don't see any for the 7 plus yet.

    Replacement laptop displays

    I remember a day when if you had a broken LCD on your laptop, you were dead in water and the cost of replacing was more than a new computer (considering time and tracking down into that).
