See now.....I can get an ATX gaming PSU and so long as it has the right outputs for the HP Workstation Z600 mobo then it will work, right? I don't have to rely on the exact model as the original do I?
I ask because all the PSU's of that exact model are 'used' and therefore won't last as long as I'd hope.
They're also in China.

now running the coolest operating system on the coolest hardware - I've got no idea what I'm doing ๐Ÿ˜…

more importantly - which stickers should I get? thinking maybe a custom "oem sticker" (is there a proper word for them?) and have any of you done any crazy mods to your eee pc (or other laptops) that you'd care to share? I hollowed the dead battery case so could fit something fun there maybe.

Thinking of adding some LED strips to the Antec LanBoy Air case I was just posting about.

I'd love a soft orange glow inside โ€” something to match the case (industrial feel) and perhaps even react to CPU or system activity.

Has anyone done this on a headless setup before?

โ€ข USB-powered?
โ€ข Molex/SATA LED strips?
โ€ข Zigbee/HA integration?

Would love your ideas โ€” trying to keep it functional and cool, but not too RGBy ๐Ÿ˜‚

Specs for now:

โ€ข Gigabyte Z390 UD
โ€ข Intel Pentium Gold G5420
โ€ข 16GB DDR4
โ€ข 447GB NVMe

Still figuring out how to mount extra 3.5" drives up front (AirMount system long gone) โ€” might reuse 5.25" brackets or print custom cages, but we'll see. Any advice welcome really!

Just came across these pictures of a wood PC I made in 2018. It was just like an i5 2400, but I think it was a cute one! #pcmodding

I've been hoping to see these toroidal propellers on PC fans! I can't wait to try this for myself.

Spy Drone Propeller Makes For A Quiet PC

MIT recently announced its research on toroidal propellers to create quieter drones. That got [Major Hardware] thinking about noisy PC fans. The obvious solution was to adapt the toroidal shape forโ€ฆ
