Spent the majority of yesterday building this bad boy (kept not having parts I needed, so 90% of that was actually driving to electronics stores). The pic of the inside of the case looks pretty weak, but I have a sleeved power supply en route so ignore that part. Anyways, on with it...

lol. i agree. the top of the case looks like the front of a BMW.

looks really good .........u might want to consider rounded IDE cables to improve air flow and reduce heating.......

Er...look closer....those green cables in there are rounded ide cables (uv-reactive too). I had a power supply that was all sleeved nicely and all that good stuff, but it was designed for a case that didn't have a fan on the top (ie. the psu won't fit). I am ordering a new one, so it'll look all crazy until the part comes in.

I'll also add some other random toys to my shopping cart as well. Any suggestions? lol

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
