Hyperstrike

It's mainly background...

+Regen should be Global. So on/off is irrelevant.

Uh. The concept *IS* ground-based. No flight, no super-jump. Here's a build of your originally stated build combo as Proof of Concept.

My advice. Built human-form. Use Dwarf's powers as mules. Build max-resist and high Recharge. Perma Hasten and Perma Lightform. You can pick up some incidental Defense to layer on.

No. I just won't play there. So now I'll ask you. Why are you trying to make Homecoming into Cake? Hmm? Why not just play over there if you just want "Gimme".

Because playing a game where you're getting everything just because "I want it", isn't a game. A game implies some form of competition. Either with the environment or other players. Or even just investing the time in the game. "Here's everything" checks none of these boxes.

A beta BIOS later, I can get up to 2 drives working. Out of time to fart around. Synology NAS arrived this afternoon. Device Name "Wentworths" up and running and pulling parity checks now.

The last month just trying to get this thing together has sorta worn me out. Going to take another stab at this. If I can't get it to work SOON, well, I have a Synology DS920+on order.

Stealth upgrades

*Offers the Sideways Spock Shake*

No. The machine simply fails to BOOT. Period. But I disconnect power to the hard drives and boom. It boots up and the SSDs come up just fine.. And I'm NOT sitting near the PSU limits. A basic power supply calculator shows the system pulling at BEST 600 Watts. And I'm sitting on a 1000W unit. Even taking into account 12V/5V/3.3V I'm not "over" anywhere. So color me stumped right now.

Nanu nanu!

The fit of the hard drive cages leaves a bit to be desired. Also, the screws for the casters creates a small amount of fitment issue. Also, I had to relocate the front chassis fans because they didn't fit exterior of the case and under the front bezel the way the original fan did. And finally managed to kill all the RGB stuff! YAY! Small problem. The machine is refusing to start with the hard drives for the array attached. Unsure what's going on there. At this point, I'm thinking just grab a Synology box and stuff them in there.

Well. Have a nasty surprise. For some reason, my board REFUSES to boot with the hard drives for the array on it. WIring still needs work.

#Stonks?

My God! It's full of cores!

ProcZilla IS ALIIIIIIVE!

Also! Before asking me about the Razer LED control stuff. I don't know. Nor do I particularly care. Frankly I can't stand the "Rainbow Puke" LED craze. So long as I can TURN ALL THAT CRAP OFF I'm good. Most people are never going to see the inside of the case anyhow. That was the point of picking up another case identical to my current one. I'm jettisoning the window panels and going with the vented panels only. I WILL be practicing clean (as possible) wiring. But my primary concern right now is getting this beast operational. Note: Glad I decided to take a pic of this. Missed the fact that the PSU cable had popped out (as I didn't fully seat it). RECTIFIED!

Motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Taichi Razer Edition/index.html Had a small scare this morning. My AV was whining about a reboot. So I did... And my machine took 10 minutes to boot...A system with an SSD OS disk.... Immediately started going into "Disaster Prep Mode" PSU mounted. Motherboard tray mounted. Waterblock assembled. AIO provisionally mounted in Pull configuration. (Waiting on mounting screws for the Push fans). And since the AIO is on a removable bracket, that should be an easy "to do". All SSDs mounted 12V and PSU power plugged in. USB3 headers in Temp vidcard in (salvaged from an old client machine) Need a cheap keyboard and a temporary monitor And mounting the waterblock is a 3 handed job Wiring sucks right now. But the long reboot kinda scared me. So I'm more concerned about getting the machine up and running provisionally than I am about "the sex-ay" All the rubber fan mounts should be in tonight. So case fans will be done.

The motherboard arrived today! Have begun populating it. Doing it in waves so I can track the drives and stuff properly so I don't necessarily have to tear down to track a failure.

I'm not talking about the images.

Famous Last Words

I have some of the 3M tape too.

Yeah, I'm using an IKEA table. Have two of them, but didn't really have the room in my new area to use them both. My NEXT project, once my savings are rebuilt a bit, will be a sit-stand desk.
