get some closed loop heat exchanger and just pipe heat outside.

Nah why waste heat like that. Not that it makes much of a difference but any extra heat generated means a slight savings on natural gas. I have a few ideas for the server room hvac system though, essentially it's goal will be to move heat away from the server room to a part of the house where it's useful, and bring air in from roughly the same area (to have a proper air loop). There will be dampers so it can change the source/destination for air. in summer it may just use outside air when the indoor air is too hot. But when I run the AC it will switch to using indoor air. Essentially it will be coded to keep the server room at a certain temp while making the most efficient use of heat/AC based on time of year.

Decided to rack it now. Didn't bother making holes to screw it in, it's not like it's really going anywhere, it's sitting on the L rails. So this is officially done and operational.

Now I can passively start looking for more GPUs if by chance I run across a good deal. But think I'm going to wait it out and see what happens. The shortage has to end at some point, hopefully.


Fits like a glove





The back is kinda bad as I originally was going to just have 3 fan holes but it was easier to mount the PSUs and motherboard facing back. Next custom case I will design it differently and more open. Probably do a motherboard tray that slides out, and the back cover will just be part of that assembly.

Overall quite happy how it turned out though. I will work on a fan controller for the front fans that can work via case ambient temperature, then swap those out for the more powerful ones. I also need to figure out how to get the card fans to run at 100%. According to my UPS I'm drawing 400w between that machine and my workstation, as they are both on same UPS so not too bad. I will need to get a bigger UPS when I start adding more cards.

I'm on a browser w/o adblock. I clicked on the first world problems thread where someone had posted a parody of Fuzzybunny's power of attorney thread. I was formulating a smartass response when I realized that the page had jumped and I was in the real Funnybunny thread. Fortunately, I hadn't submitted my reply.

Been working on a job lately with the most beautifully laid stone walls I've ever seen. I almost took a picture, but didn't feel like pulling out my phone. It was dry stone style with flush faces, and absolutely plumb. It must have cost a fortune to have them made. It was hundreds of feet of wall.

My cat is sleeping behind me on my chair and I just let go a huge fart and it woke her up suddenly. I feel like such an asshole lol. She just left.
My cat's in my lap now. She doesn't care if I fart. I swear to Odin, she trolls me with farts sometimes. She'll be laying on my chest, and I smell something. Without moving my body at all, I move my eyes to her, and see her look back with a half eyed glance.

Have a fire going now. That means when I get up, I have to pickup the cat and put her in the chair. When I get back, I'll have to pick her up and put her back in my lap. She's like furniture :^D
