I'm a basic-knowledge DIYer that has a builder doing the "must be good" stuff in the kitchen. They have chased out the floor to run piping (I know some people say that's not necessary, but it makes sense to me in this context) and will cement in the piping with deso tape to protect the copper.

The one thing I'm not keen on and my tradie friends have advised to change is the speed fit connectors. I've read it's not uncommon that they fail and I don't see why the builder can't change to solder joins. I guess two questions:

1. is this a reasonable concern?

2. is that something I'd need to get a plumber in to do?

Excellent condition, no bent pins. Used for about a year at 3.8 GHz

I'm seeing £70 as the going price, any thoughts?

Pick up only from Clapton, E5 London.

The standard 200 mm fan was upgraded to a Cooler Master Megaflow (I have cut the blue LED wires so they do not light up). On the rear are two Arctic 80 mm fans. LED strip also included.

Only a year old and overall all in excellent condition.

Images available here.

Lugging big boards around London wasn't fun so I made a few tweaks to my nano+ to make it far more space-efficient. Just finished the final addition with the compressor.

The signal train is:

Guitar (normally Tokai 335) > TU3 > GE-7 > Xotic SP > Hudson Broadcast > TS mini > spark boost > flashback > HoF2

Sound-wise I'm all about using mash on the delay for percussive sounds and then shimmer on t

Here is the plan I'm working on for my first build from scratch. I don't have a lot of cash to play with and I'm hoping it will cover quite a few bases including:

- General productivity
- Data analysis; not big data, but machine learning with neuroimaging measures
- Light gaming, mainly Dota2

I have based the build on the pcmasterrace budget guide + the pc part picker budget build guide. Keen to hear thoughts in terms of making it cheaper for similar performance for the above. I'm UK based, so hoping to keep it closer to £400 but am aware this might not be feasible.

Any other tips would be greatly useful!

MIJ 1989/1990 Fender Stratocaster.

It's far from unique, but I'm loving the single coil strat tones as a previous humbuckerholic.
