Good morning!
Back to it. Lots of tech problems to figure out and broken computers to repair.

Good morning
I'm considering this case because it has the power buttons and USB ports on the front (a request from my customer, as he doesn't like the USB ports on the top of the case, which most are now).
I have not seen a power supply mounted at the front of the case like this. Have you built in a case like this? Any downside to having the power cable routed to the front?
I kind of want to get it just to see how well it works.
Case model: GAMEMAX MeshBox PRO ATX Chassis-Black

Good morning.
Had some good discussion and conversation with my family this morning.
I value having a flexible schedule due to owning a business. Yes, there can be a lot of work, but I decide when to do it.
Which means I can start later if I want to and do not have a commute every day.
( I did stay out in my workshop until after midnight yesterday, though )
Glad to have completed some upgrades on my ThinkStation S30.
I now have an nvme SSD as my boot drive, thanks to the Clover boot loader.
Also happy to have the Xeon E5-2690 back with its sixteen threads at 3.8 GHz. Upgraded from 16GB to 64GB memory.
I am ready to put this machine to work!

I have one of these. The display is good, the rest of the computer... not so much.

I should at least give Rescuezilla a try sometime. I use CloneZilla all the time and that works for most of what I want to do.
Would be good to know what features and ease of use Rescuezilla has compared to CloneZilla.

I just recovered data from a Lenovo IdeaPad laptop that suffered damaged from a water spill.
The owner may also want to have the laptop repaired. I looked up replacement motherboards and they are available.
If replacing the motherboard, I recommend upgrading from the original Intel i3 to a replacement motherboard that has the Intel i5. It is only a bit more for cost and likely well worth it.

My sons and I have been doing some 3D printing.
Simple things, yet useful, for now.

Feels good to get things done!

I did a thermal cleaning and reapplied thermal paste for a HP ProBook 455R G6 laptop.
The heat is designed well and can be taken off with just four screws. It is also separate from the fan, which makes it easier to take off.
Reapplying thermal paste was easy and made a big difference. Fan was running all the time before and now hardly at all after the paste was replaced.
