Yes I made the floppy drive work! There’s a USB adapter hidden in the back, and modular power supply makes it simple to hook up. I actually use them at my job (machine shop) though we normally just use an RS-232 cable connection to transfer files, so disks don’t get any actual use. I really wanted to ensure the 3.5 drive worked even though the CD-ROM doesn’t work, I had to put the AIO radiator up there instead.
I guess the material of a floppy disc coupled with near HDD densities wasn’t a good combination. Floppies would just randomly go bad at the best of times.
It’s upward inside the drive bay, using a single 120mm fan and rad, then I perforated the case’s top sheet metal with a new grid of holes for outlet airflow. Definitely not amazing cooling performance but hey. I had to slice the CDROM drive in half to make room for it… the floppy drive actually works but not the giant CDROM lol
Does your fan not have its front shield or is it just a bad angle? If it doesn’t I’d suggest you put it on, from experience those fuckers can break skin.
It doesn’t, no. I accidentally put it on crooked when assembling it and bent it when trying to correct my error to the point that just taking it off was the only logical solution.
This one doesn’t break skin, though. In fact, my cats have accidentally gotten their tail into it several times and reacted with only slight annoyance.
To put it another way: a toddler could stick their head into it and not cry when it hits them, it’s THAT good at stopping gently when it encounters resistance 😁
At first I noticed the wooden floor style, then the Danfoss radiator valve, which is very common in Denmark. Even the window shape. I wouldn’t have bet my life on it, but I had a feeling it was Danish.
I’m just glad you didn’t notice those horrific vertical blinds 😄
Whatever you do, do NOT get vertical blinds. You will rur the day! In fact, I ruedva bit again just now, 13 years into mistakenly getting them and then being too executive dysfunction plagued to replace them with something sane 😬😄
I use that case for my work computer! It has a ryzen7 and RTX 2080. I had to hack the front USB to connect it with a modern mobo header, but it works…
I’ve always wanted to build a sleeper PC
I want to do it in an old 8086 or maybe an IBM PS/2
I tried building a sleeper PC once but kept getting disturbed by trains.
Sleeper PCs are an art form
How’s airflow?
Is the floppy drive hooked up? I have a floppy drive in my modern machine.

You need to get with the times, grandpa. Get yourself a Zip drive.
Do Zip drives work with Linux?
It looks like you could, but probably requires you to build a kernel that supports all the old crap they took out years ago.
If they ever remove floppy support, I’ll be sad.
I had the WORST luck out of those. I had a dozen zip disks go bad and 1/3 Jaz drives.

I haven’t seen an FDD header on a motherboard since my P6T (with an i7-920). And even then, it wasn’t worthwhile to use it.
Do you have a usb-fdd adapter? Or just a USB internal floppy drive?

This is pretty similar to what I use
Where’s the radiator?
It’s upward inside the drive bay, using a single 120mm fan and rad, then I perforated the case’s top sheet metal with a new grid of holes for outlet airflow.

Right here, next to the fan:
Don’t give LTT any ideas…
Take the upvote and gtfo ;p

Damn, I don’t know what it is, but your house looks completely Danish.
It’s an apartment, but it’s not so weird that it looks completely Danish since it IS completely Danish. As am I 😁
Amazing! I don’t know what makes it look so Danish, maybe the wooden floor? The window shape? The Danfoss radiator valve?
Then I saw your username and I was like: aah, he’s surely a Dane ;)
Nååååå, aha!
How could you tell?

Maybe I should start playing Geoguessr…

By the woodwork duh.
