Done.
Got everything cleaned and dusted, and even added some SSDs.
Was initially going to juat use the 248GB until I remembered I had a random NVME sitting in a box gathering dust.
Not the best desktop, but it will be useful for setting up as a future NAS project

Dusted out the fans. The old paste felt more like chalk than anything resembling thermal paste

Yep, 24pin and 4pin seemed normal and is normal MicroATX sizing with the case front IO being standard connector.
Gotta say, I kinda dig the foam "stand-offs"
Still only one stick of RAM, so negative point for that

Taking apart an old circa 2016 Dell, and, despite some usual Dell weirdness, the case looks "okay-ish" for airflow, and the motherboard looks... normal???

Cleaned up some cable management from last weekend's case swap. Might not be the best, but has to be my best work so far.
Without the cover plates, it's not very visible and a lot of blacks and greys, so may get some textured or colored cable extensions at some point.

Got a new PC case (BF 360 Flow) and just started the transplant from my old Fractal, and now believe #HAVN should just own the spelling mistake and use it in all their future cases.

Sad to see the number 42 leave my OS line in Fastfetch, but the universe is always changing and moving forward.
Okay, that was too deep for this early. I'm going to dumb myself by browsing reddit for a whole minute 😵
If you don't hear from me, feed my cat

Honestly, I think Taron Malicos gives better C'baoth vibes, but I can see where you're coming from. Especially, with them doing a weird fusion of the Thrawn trilogy and Clone Emperor saga for the sequel films.

March 1sth this year, I started daily driving Linux (after playing around with Mint periodically last year) and haven't used Windows on my personal devices, ever since.

One week in, and so far, everything is still smooth.
#Nobara is working much better than when I was playing around with #LinuxMint last year (although those issues may have been to me not installing something correctly)
Feels good to finally be giving #Linux a go again and to leave Windows behind

Finally, started playing around with #Linux again. So far, going pretty easy with a plus being a noticeable improvement to #BaldursGate3 FPS, wiith about 15 to 30 uplift from Win11
