Flexispot Adjustable CPU Holder (CH4B)

Hello everyone,

anyone has experience with the Adjustable CPU Holder (CH4B)?

Got the E7 PRO and was wondering if the top bracket is tall enough to fit on the motor. So it stay as close as possible to the leg.

what is the max PC case size it can hold?

I have the Antec Flux (non Pro) and it measures 484mm x239mm x502mm (DxWxH)

TIA

E7Pro Gaming Series

Finally pulled the trigger on my first standing desk, and I’m really surprised about the versatility it brings to the game.

Got the 55x28 Gaming FPS and Caster Wheels too, very comfortable and easy to move around.

The Motors are quick and sound is pretty silent.

Overall I’m impressed with the quality, also easy to put together.
All items were delivered separately within 5 days, no damage luckily.

I’m considering the cpu holder but I’m not too sure if my case fits, at 19.05x9.4x19.76in (DWH). Anybody have experience with the holder CH4B?

Now I just need to tide up the cables.

Topic about FA fee and my future retirement, I'm now 40.

Hello Everyone,

I'm 40, live in the US, definitely didn't do my diligent research and job on building a solid portfolio in retirement, but even if it's "late" I'm confident that I can get somewhere if I'm putting enough interest and commitment into building something solid.

Here is my current situation:

Back in 2023 I rolled over my Simple IRA to a FA that my family has known for a very long time, I did it because I had to go live abroad and since I had no clue of what investing meant, the FA seemed the best choice at that time.

The FA charges 1% advisor fee that breakdowns based on the portfolio's value (First $500k 1.00%, Next $500k 0.90%, Next $1Mil 0.80%, Next $3Mil 0.70%, Next $5Mil 0.60%, Next $10Mil Negotiable), plus a 0.27% platform fee.

The portfolio started with a rollover of $55k and had a 14,4% annual return, net of all fees, since inception. So today is sitting around $82k.

Is invested as such, so most of them have a higher expense ratio (~0.50%):

Morningstar funds ~62%
US equities (ETF) ~25%
International (ETF) ~11%
Bonds ~10–11%

Now considering I'll probably retire at 67, assuming the annual return stays at 7% (hopefully more), keeping the same investments, net of the fees, I would probably pay around $170k to the FA. I also looked how much I would lose if the returns were 14%, so if the market will be good and FA is making that happen, I would lose even more money from fees and lost compound on those fees.

I've asked the FA what would I give up if those investments were shifted towards lower costs ETFs? Let's see what the reply is.

That being said, the FA is also advising (free advice, so I consider it added value) on my Fidelity 401k and HSA that I have with my new company and has been performing very well in 1 year, like 24%. Currently investing 6% with 3% match. Today's value is very low since it's only 1y old. The HSA, which I'm maxing out, and the company contributes $500/y, is already 75% invested, keeping some cash just in case I'm in need for medical expenses.

Now, I know this is not the full picture, and considering nowadays with little research a lot can be done by ourselves, what would you do? or what would you suggest?

TIA

As the title says, I’m creating a poll to have a feedback on the recent updates following Fanatec App 1.4.2.3.

I’m seeing so many issues popping up, so I think it’s worth gathering some information, even though I’m not part of Fanatec team.
