I used to go nuts with a dremel tool back in the 90s and early 2000's. I could never find a case that had enough fan mounts so I had to make my own. I never filed down anything because I hated how that sounded/felt. I don't know how I survived. It seemed like every build, I would just be working...
I'll be interested to see the temps on the vram. My FE 2080ti gets way too hot and I had to wait about 5 months for them to clear out the ones with the bad vram.
250gb is $34
500gb is $65
1tb is $120
Not the fastest but not the slowest. Would make a great boot drive or a very nice game drive, especially the 1tb. I've toyed around with the idea of getting 2 for raid 0 but I need to chill on buying hardware for a little bit...
Terminal - Whatever is stock. Im not picky.
Firefox - I love the sync function since I like to keep everything the same across all my platforms.
Libre Office - Basic work.
Steam - Vidya.
Lutris - Getting my windows vidya to play on linux.
Playonlinux - Getting more of my windows vidya to play on...
I was on Manjaro for at least a year before I switched to POP!_OS. I run Cinnamon on both so the differences are minimal. I DO miss the AUR on Manjaro though. Its hard to give up POP!_OS though with how forward thinking they are. I love having power profiles for my laptop and pre-installed...
I have an Edgerouter POE and a USG. Its a tossup between the two but I have the USG running currently. Mostly because the GUI is really nice and it fits perfectly into my Unifi ecosystem. Its not the most powerful thing, but it handles my symmetrical gigabit internet at full speed.
