DannyGlass, instead of just pointing out everyone's errors and critisizing everyone's cases, why don't you SUGGEST a way to FIX the problems. Or try saying it less harshly...

I didnt think i was being harsh =/

But ok well i suggest getting a lanparty uv sleeving kit, this package includes:

3 FT. - 3/8" Sleeving

3 FT. - 1/2" Sleeving

20-Tie Wraps

1 FT.-9mm Heatshrink Tubing

1 FT.-20mm Heatshrink Tubing

This should sort your cable management problem out.

yeah i tried a sleeving a kit i didnt know how to remove the molexes from the wirez without feeling like i waz gonna break them. and then i didnt know how i waz gonna put the molexes back on to the wires

You dont need to remove the molex connectors at all just make the sleeving expand and put it over the top of the molex connectors.

Yes im sure and yes they sleeving isnt wide before you stretch it but when you do it goes to 150% of its original size, all you do is grab one side of the sleeving with one hand then put the other hand on the opposite side with about a 5inch gap and push the sleeving inwards and it will expand.

Just finished my side panel, it's taken me ages to complete as I've run into so many problems. Here are some pics, I've tried to get them a sensible size but not quite got there.

As you can see the plexi got pretty scratched in the process.

And where I mucked up once I had to recut the plexi along two sides and then drill more holes, leaving gaps.

And where the two pieces of trim meet they don't quite fit flushly.

See next post for continuation.

Stunning!

In all it's glory!

I'm dead chuffed with it, only problem is I think it'll affect the selling price when I want to get rid of it so I'll have to buy a shiny new case for it when I want to sell and that'll deplete my profit. But there ya go, it's mine and I love it :D

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
