My desk design won't allow me to stand it up so I lay it on its side. It creates the illusion of a transparent case.
I'm really curious about the airflow?
I have a Silverstone GD09 HTPC case:
Obviously totally different CPU fan going on, but just wondering how you're going about it?
I have the left and right 120mm case fans pulling, the CPU fan pulling and the back 90mm fans as exhaust.
Just kinda wondering...
I have 2-140mm fans in front and 1-120mm fan in the bottom pulling air in and 3-120mm fans pushing out. 1 in back, 2 in the top. The one fan in the back is close to the CPU fan and pulls that hot air out immediately.
I dont think I do anything to really cause alot of heat anyway..
I am starting another game room. Moved my 1up cabinets and about to install the MvC2.
There will be a YouTube video of me and my sons putting the whole room together!

Holy s***e! I only have the OG SF2 cab (although modded with a rpi4 and trackball), they're way to expensive here (starting at about $700 for the older ones and up to $1200 for a T2) and the price for shipping from the US is astronomical.
Do you have, or plan on getting, any of the 1up shooting cabs?
Yes and also a pinball that I have dying to get. I have a video that shows the before look of my basement and once I complete the room, I will do an after video.
May or may not have done a thing today. Bye Vermeer and Ampere, hello Raphael and Ada Lovelace.
Any suggestions on an HDD backup drive?
I don't know if there's anything to this, but when I run user benchmark all my stuff is performing in the very high percentile,
And my Seagate 2TB HDD (which is just a backup drive to the backup drive btw, and I've already backed it up too, plenty of backup going on haha)
It's in the 35th percentile, a stark contrast from where it was a month ago.
Feel like I should replace it and would love suggestions.
I'm talking about an old fashioned internal 3.5" SATA drive btw.

Just a backup drive? I would recommend a WD Red drive.
Yes I read about this last night, ASUS pulled all previous BIOS from their website for AM5 boards in the matter of a button press. Pretty sketchy.
System is 98% done.

Yeah I looked into it. Was just gonna get another Seagate same as I have,
Finally got one today but went with a Firecuda 4TB because it was on deeeeep sale, why not? It was $10 more than the Barracuda.
Hope it lasts, if not no big deal. I think I got like 10 years out of the one I'm replacing.
Decided to retire my 5 year old Corsair k95 platinum keyboard, it's tired.
Got a Logitech g815, it's UNREAL thin. It'll take some getting used to.
