Should I go pick this up for $260?

Brand new, seal was broken, but everything inside is in original packaging and brand new.

Recommendations for a raid hdd/ssd enclosure to use for personal game server scheduled backups, etc

2/3 bay would be fine for now. Prefer 10gb speeds but most are 5gbs with raid ? Any info would be helpful. Have a rack mate 10in rack with a Lenovo m90q with a 512gb nvme/256gb nvme. Or would a non raid 10gbs with a single bigger drive be better ?

Question for you fellas. I have a Lenovo m90q gen 2 on the way, besides the 2x nvme slots, would it be better to add a pcie sata expansion card, get an external enclosure with a separate 12v power source to plug in or spend a bunch of money on a nas?

I’m new to the hobby and want some extra space for headroom. With the state of the memory prices, I could throw bigger nvme’s but I’d be spending an arm and a leg on it. I have a few hdds id like to use and I was going to snag either one of these off amazon (or another version if yall recommend). I don’t need a crazy amount of room for the game servers I plan on running for now but I want to get into plex, photo storage, and I’m sure I’ll learn about much more and expand like you all do. I don’t need anything crazy, the NAS looked like it had it all but that’s another good chunk of money and I don’t think I need all that. The enclosure seemed nice cause it had a small fan and separate power source. I’d have to get crazy and rig something else up for the pcie expansion I’m guessing ? Any and all info would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Just snagged this bad boy for my Lenovo thinkcentre m90q gen 2 I’m going to be setting up for a game server. Only $60 from an office in Miami

Still had the plastics on it. Was going to use an older es550 apc that I just got a battery for but this should be a nice little upgrade for it.

What are some good homebrew things I should throw on a fresh pico loader build

Just finished the cube. Curious what some of you guys use with pico loader and Swiss. I have a 3ds LL on the way from Japan that I’m going to mod for any gameboy needs so I don’t need a gba emulator. 1000% already slapped that harvest moon on there 🔥

Beginner looking to get into some small game servers and interested in the Lenovo thinkcentres. Any recommendations on which one ?

I apologize if this doesn’t belong here. The past few days I’ve been trying to decide if I want to start a few game servers for my small group of friends. Ended up looking at the cheaper thinkcentres. Have a budget of $400ish to start out. I know it’s not a crazy amount in this pc economy but I wanted to just start out on palworld servers and work my way up over time. Any info is appreciated. Please remove if not allowed thank you.

GameCube comes Saturday but some goods have started to come in for it 😀

UV purple lights in the pink bag for the controller ports and top. Flippy drive ordered and it says it ships the 14 (supposedly) sd2sp2 pro and 2 512gb micro sd’s on the way! Might order a solderless picoloader if the flippy doesn’t ship around the expected time

Trying to convince myself I don’t need this 😂

No sales tax either in Florida. I have the same monitor already but a 34.. have the box and all the parts. Guess I could sell it for a chunk of what this would cost ?

She’s done boys

Rocky5 // Crystal shell from XDevpro // 2TB HDD // Electron Sheppard x out hdmi // brooks adapter. Kept the disc drive as it was working just fine. Was my original childhood console with a black shell. Just bought a GameCube to mod 😀

Complete GameCube noob here. Just purchased a dol-001 console and a prism HDMI adapter, if I got a flippydrive, what else would I need to emulate or play games from an sd card

As title says. Just finished my OG Xbox with a new shell, Rocky5 and a 2tb hdd. Want to do a GameCube now. Any and all info appreciated!

Got drunk tonight and purchased a few things…

It’s a DOL-001 console.. am I on the right track ? I know I could have gotten a Wii and modded it but I think I’m going to do that too 🤣 what other stuff do I need to soft mod this ?

u/Turbulent-Spray-8438 — 17 days ago

Shell swap, rocky5 and new 2tb hard drive formatted with fatX done and ready to go. Games ?

Download them with x.iso,iso then use qwix before putting them on the hard drive ? FTP them over or use the hub and fat explorer to mount the F ? Explain to me like I’m dumb because I am. Thanks 😘

OG fan or 60mm noctua with 3D adapter ?

Don’t want to cut anything for an 80mm. Could order the nexus but didn’t feel like waiting for shipping

Is it fine to remove the metal interior on just the top piece of the shell ?

Keeping the bottom in, just wanting to remove the top for aesthetic

Returned the elite controller and got this bad boy ordered.

Almost got the valor pro wireless. Let’s see how this goes

Random, I play on pc/xbox. Cant decide between the 8k with a brooks adapter or the ZZZ

The ZZZ would make it much simpler for me but curious if the 8k would work fine with a brooks adapter on the series x. Mainly for the gen 2 tmr sticks. I don’t care for the 8k. I play most of my Xbox titles on pc with the Xbox app. Only snagged an Xbox again for gta but I’d just like the option for both without buying 2 controllers. Thanks all for any info.
