On the Thermaltake Versa H18, according to the images I found online, there is a cutaway on the motherboard mounting tray that allows access to that backside without removing the motherboard. Maybe just pull off the other case side and check.

Historically I've always been able to shave a few mm from a fit with basic hand tools. Usually it is as simple as using side cutters to shave off some decorative plastic somewhere. If a part fit is tight, just take a look at the image and see if there is room to be saved.

I'm certainly a fan of upgradability, but it looks like the performance trade-offs for socketed RAM is starting to become significant. If a 935 with 128GB was available right now I'd get it.

The only alert I'm currently waiting on is for a delidded 9950X3D from Thermal Grizzly.

I'm actually in negotiations on a used computer just so I can get the 2080ti out of it.

Looks like HP will have one.

I heard the CEO of Framework say that it required a complete board redesign to accomodate for some reason, which is why it isn't being adopted by others. Even Framework decided not to invest in a laptop form factor.

My family has become quite reliant on Alexa for timers, alarms, light control, and music. The remote processing notice was what pushed me over the line on this project, though I've been thinking about it for quite a while. The LLMs are also just super useful, and before I integrate them into my...

And one of the fun things about Framework is the ability to order parts. Like just the 395 with 128GB RAM. Still unavailable and expensive, but if you were interested in, say, building a cluster of them, one could 3d print an enclosure that uses larger fans and a single power supply.

In the self-hosting server category, I'm just starting work on building out an AI server. The goal is to integrate with Home Assistant Voice and keep everything internal. Maybe this should be a dedicated thread? I think I'll be mostly following this series of videos to get it going.

I haven't seen Handy in person since....2005? That day of wandering around San Francisco doing camera things. Therefore my mental image of him is slightly out of date.

I'm also experiencing some issues with this aging physical frame, but was recently assured that I am unlikely to die soon ;) Everything else is going well all things considered.

Sorry to hear of your injury Handy, but glad things are on the mend. This getting older thing sucks, but it beats the alternative.

Even the new PowerShot wouldn't really work. Pockets in girls clothing is honestly a joke. She's still 11, so her hikes are frequently interrupted by climbing trees or playing in a playground, so it really does need to fit in a small pocket. The S110 she's used to is not much bigger than a pack...

My daughter has been really enjoying an old Canon S110 point and shoot camera. Unfortunately it has finally decided to stop working. Being 13 years old and in use by my daughter since she was 5, it owes me nothing. That said, she doesn't want to use my old Sony A7II because it is too big...

I've heard a few sources mention that current prices for the AMD cards were limited in some way, possibly to launch cards, before prices increase. This is frustrating, but there is a hierarchy of frustrations. The people I want least to get my money: 1. Scalpers 2. Retailers 3. OEMs 4. Chip...

Yup, CDW is legit, but their customer service sucks unless you are big enough to have an account rep. Then it is awesome. Mine used to send me Scotch for Christmas.

I can't speak towards "not too expensive" as I haven't been looking in that space, but the Level1Techs KVMs get outrageously good reviews, and don't seem too crazy for what they are. That said, every time I consider getting one a PiKVM suits my needs better. Edited to point to 4-port model

I also noticed "unlimited encoding streams" on the list.

Caught this on one of their launch slides if you were after AV1 encoding?

That 128GB of RAM has me looking at them for AI training purposes. The Framework Desktop looks like a great fit for the purpose.

Louis Cole has been a key figure in one of my favorite musical genres for years. While it may not appeal to everyone, it could certainly resonate with some here. He excels at high-quality musical shitposts. Having received formal musical training, he and his talented friends take great pleasure...

Absolutely. Just check the carry-on size spec for the airline you're on. Worst case they make you check it at the gate, which makes it way less likely to be lost and is free.

Normally shipping your luggage would cost more than the plane ticket, which to me implies that passenger airline QA is another loss of the price wars.

5090FE power connectors are already melting. From some videos I've seen, it seems that they simply wired together all the 12v lines in the 12VHP connector and shunted them as a whole, so there is no active control over how much power goes over each wire. Derbauer had a melted one in his hands...

Just a heads-up, most of the things here now use animated QR codes (that rapidly alternate between a few) and prevent screenshots from working. I just use the app from whatever airline to get the boarding pass, another advantage is that it typically automatically maxes the brightness of your...

Turns out that my local electronics seller, Proshop, had been trusted to handle the 5090FE sales from nVidia for Europe. Their internal sales URL was leaked in advance, and a bot purchased every EU 5090FE before the link on nVidias website even went live.

I think the black and white is more a populist thing, the narrative must be simple to be believed.

5090FE "preorder" went from "soon" to "sold out" in seconds.

MKBHD basically said everything since the 22 has been the most minor of incremental upgrades. I'm still happy with my S22 Ultra, though the screen is now scratched all to hell.

So performance numbers released for the 5090 today, videos available at all the usual sites. Seems like 30% actual performance increase from 30% more transistors drawing 30% more power and costing 25% more money. No efficiency gains, just more fundamental power. Unless you're doing AI stuff...

We've had a total of about 35 hours of snow on the ground here this winter. Crazy to think that ya'll might beat that.

I was always interested in photography, but I knew film would drive me crazy so I held off until digital was ok. The first good camera I bought was a used 20D from Tannin on here.

A fun look back at the 5DII for video work. I remember running the Magic Lantern firmware back then, exciting but difficult times.

I consider women who initiated a divorce in their past to be a big plus. They know what they want, what they don't, and aren't afraid to take action when things aren't right. Some of the tech startup mentality, fail early, fail often.

Tariffs are one thing, but my big worry is the discussions around China not being allowed to take TSMC intact. That would basically park chip production for 3-5 years. My current PC is fine, but I'm tempted to build a 9950X3D/5090 rig and put the current one in reserve just in case.

And for age gap, the old rule (older / 2 + 7) seems to hold up quite well.

The last time Trump was president the Danish immigration authority had a special header on their refugee page (paraphrasing), "Americans, we know it's bad, but you don't count".

;) So long as they don't deport me as a spy or something I'm good.

When I was in a house I considered it, but now that we're in an apartment I was looking at industrial chillers ;)

My existing system already serves just fine as a space heater. I'm still investigating a very large external radiator to move that heat into the main living area. 9x 200mm just sounds hilarious. Of course, one you add on the options for dual D5 pumps, integrated reservoir, and integrated fan...

...and done. Replacement part just arrived. According to the package tracking, it was about 30 minutes between them receiving my old CPU and them shipping the new one to me. My guess is there was to testing or troubleshooting, they just wanted to confirm that I shipped them a valid part.

The new hardware design of the 5090 (and possibly others in the lineup) looks very interesting. I'm curious to see what the waterblocks end up looking like for this card, it might get very compact. https://nordic.ign.com/news/90277/the-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-is-finally-here-at-ces-2025

Intel had a DHL guy come by and pick up the processor today. It will be at their service center in the Netherlands tomorrow, and according to their brief I should have a replacement next Monday.

When you can't decide between undereducated offshore worker and LLM:

Thanks and same to all! (Tak og i lige måde!)

Friendly tip. When building an Intel system, take a picture of the top of the CPU and file it away. If you ever have to do an RMA, they might not even begin the troubleshooting process without that picture. I didn't want to take the computer apart until I got the new CPU (It was working well...

I appreciate the feedback and the tip, that is worth consideration. I was actually thinking of an Intel CPU for this motherboard that would become my home server once I get the AMD thing going. Not sure if I'd keep a 13900KF in my server or pass it along and get something more power efficient.

I'm lazy, but this CPU is past it even for me. Won't boot 20% of the time, won't stay stable long enough to complete a Windows reinstall, won't stay stable on a Linux boot USB while web browsing longer than an hour, BSODs every 4 hours, and crashes Chrome every 30 minutes. And all that is after...

Their office is right downtown Copenhagen, there is a great hotdog shop between them and the train station ;)
