As for the outputs from the computer, I purposefully chose a graphics card (the bottom card in the images) with no DP, because my monitor only has VGA and HDMI in. 😊 And as for inputs to the computer*, I’m only going to be recording analog signals from sources such as VHS📼, Mini DV📹 and audio cassette tapes📟 and that one DVI-I input (top card in the images) has adapters for both component video (YPbPr), composit video (RCA, S-video and SCART), VGA and HDMI. 📺

Ah, well, my middle name is Gullible. 😅🤣

Too bad they never caught on. According to Wikipedia, the advent of more power efficient hardware made BTX obsolete. I tried looking for some, but all I could find was a dead Amazon link (Sweden).

Noice.

So that’s how you express accent in writing!

I have two spare Noctua fans that I could install at the bottom of the case. The top already has three, CPU cooling tower has two (horizontal) and the one visible in the picture above. The 3080 that I swapped for these archaic video cards had three powerful fans on its own, but then again, it generated massive amounts of heat. I’m looking forward to learn how much heat these cards will generate. 😁

No doubt. This case was used for gaming just a few months ago. But maybe I’ll look at some used ones. Although the CPU cooling tower will be difficult, I think, to fit horizontally. 😅

You just had to burst my bubble. F***. 💦

At the very least, it would be cool to try to build in an old horizontal case. :)

I just took whatever “down is up” gave me at https://imgflip.com/memegenerator 🤣 What I really would’ve wanted to paste is that scene from that pirates movie where they flip their ship.

Thanks for the heads up! :D There is actually yet another card incoming - a captured card with FireWire (1394 a and b) inputs that I was thinking about putting at the bottom. No reason or thought behind though. The only card among these three that has a heatsink and a mini fan is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220. Maybe I’ll put that at the bottom, then.

Same. Or should I say, sem.

There is no issue at all. Chassi upright, box upright, DVI connector are in two separate orientations from the viewer’s perspective. Nothing is in fact upside down.

Keeping in mind that any and all concepts in this world can be explained and understood by anyone and everyone - and that when this is untrue, only a lack of language and experience are at work - these do not have straightforward counterparts in English with the exact same nuance, I think:

Japanese
潔い、木漏れ日、懐かしい、いただきます、ごちそうさま、よろしく、お疲れ様、儚い、ぼけ、つっこみ、花見、紅葉狩り

Swedish
Mångata, lagom, fika, smörgåsbord, ombudsman, klämdag, skadeglädje, orka (verb or exclamation)

Hungarian
Meglehetős(en), káröröm

Great allegory! It’s a distro in the same way that Bob was done with his homework by having handed in Alice’s copy of it and called it a day.

I’d be all over that if I had anything to contribute with, but at the moment, I’m still learning the very basics of C and I’m in the middle of some other projects… 😅 Don’t let my preoccupation kill your enthusiasm though!!! 🙏💞

Anecdote time
I recently inherited a Commodore 64 from my dad. It’s from the 80’s. While all I could do with it was

• type text and see it displayed
• load some games from cassette tapes

It was extremely refreshing to see that literally nothing was going on in the system other that what I saw on the screen.

Cross trainer. Hands down. Moves the whole body.
