I'm late to jump on the sffpc game because I just haven't actually needed to upgrade in a long time. Getting into it now, I'm a little late to the game and it seems like I've missed some good case opportunities. I'd really like to stick with lian li (my mid tower has done almost 20 years of good service), but I've got my heart set on a q58, and can't find one on the market anywhere.

Now I've come across a prebuilt q58, equipped with a gtx 3070 gpu, 5600X cpu, X470 board, and 16GB of ddr4 3200. From a seemingly reputable seller.

It's not quite the power I was planning, but it is about $500 cheaper than my planned GTX 4060, i5-13600, B760 build.

Worth spending the extra on current gen equip

Does there exist a sliding door stop that I can automate? Something to replace the stick that I drop into the track every night? The latches on these doors are notoriously easy to force and I hate having to get up at night every time the wife asks if I put the stick in the slider on the other side of the house.

Plus twice a year my recycling looks like I threw a personal frat party over the weekend.

I've recently discovered that my 1920's tanker desk has just about 7U of 19" space in the typewriter closet, and I'm planning to take advantage of it. My next PC build is going to be in a 4U case to clot in. Now I'm never going to use all of the HDD space for just my pc, so I'm thinking of trying to cram a NAS into the same box.

My plan right now is to tuck in a raspberry Pi for the server and whatever else I might need to make the drives go. It's obviously still a pretty loose plan. Anyone else ever try to work multiple functions side by side in the same case? Anything I should consider (multiple PSUs, periphial sharing, etc?)

When assigning Identifiers to parts, products, and variants, what are your methods to determine what the ID should be? I have previously been using 6-digit numbers just incremented one at a time to assign ID's, but that gets difficult to track when there are multiple developers initiating materials.

Anyone have insights on what works for you? Some more logical alphanumeric system, or a way to keep track of the next ID that needs to be assigned?

Hi guys, I'm looking for anyone who's run into the same kind of floor situation as I have. I live in a single story ranch, about 30' x 40' and I just started evaluating my house for a bathroom remodel. Now I have been under my house before, but hadn't thought much of it until today when I went down to figure out what the joist spacing was and if I would need more support for tile.

What I found was 2x8's instead of joists, running the length of my house, spaced 4ft apart and supported about every 10'. On top of those are tongue and groove planks, laid perpendicular. The planks are an actual 1-1/4" thick and 5" wide. It honestly looks a heck of a lot more like a deck than a house.

Now, it's

So my credit union sends out offers about twice a year to let me skip my car payment for a month. Obviously, it's not really skipping the payment, just moving it to the end and adding a month to the loan. The assumption of course is that I'll use the money to buy things for the holidays or vacation or whatever, and the credit union will make some extra on the interest over the course. I've always just brushed this off, as I didn't want to incur the extra interest, and I didn't need the money in my pocket.

Then this time around, a thought struck me: I could delay this loan payment (2 years left, originally 20K at 1.9%) and just put the money saved into my home loan (27 years left, Originally
