Turning my old ITX PC into a rack mountable NAS. Straight onto a rack shelf because a shallow depth (-350mm) server case is either far too expensive or impossible to find. Kinda more fun this way anyway. Next steps are finding some 3D print solution that can hold 2 x 3.5mm HDDs and a GPU.

Kinda cool that I can go back through 21 years of purchases on @scorptec.bsky.social (PC hardware retailer). First purchase was a Netgear ADSL router/modem. So I was still on dial-up when I made the order. Wild.

Bought one of those matte finish picture frame TVs for the bedroom. First time I've mounted a TV at home. Mostly because it's a lot of effort to do it properly. This one particularly because it sits flush against the wall with a very small area for cable management. Very happy with the result.
