The past few days things have settled down and I've been able to print a much more suitable Compact Flash card holder since I now have much more than 10, this design screws into the bottom of a wood shelf and uses VHB tape on the front to attach while keeping the space above fully usable. This …

Nice to see some setups. My problem is space, so I am balancing everything on top of my Milwaukee PackOut til boxes, so I need something that can quickly be removed for me to open the boxes. I'm currently using an ATX mount plate from a Thermaltake Cube, which I had to scrap since vinegar, sunlight, …

Shouldn't multiplier just be set to 1.5 and the p55 interprets it as 3.5?

The initial post suggest that the clock generators were swapped, but ics9150 is pin incompatible with 9250. Or do I read it wrong ? They need to be the -08 version both, there is a crapload of variants of the ICS9150/9250. Just ordered 3 pcs 9250 to rework my rev. 1.05; and a couple in reserve :D

Hi, Apparently it's a known issue that P2B-DS before rev. 1.06 doesn't play well with ACPI. https://tipperlinne.com/p2bmod.htm unfortunately has this on the "to-do list", so not very likely it will show up there any time soon? Other threads here on vogons mention, that there is a fix for it, which …

OK, can't find the rev 2.12 per se, but Asrock doesn't mention any 45nm CPUs in the compatibility list for rev. 2.0 https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/775i65G%20R2.0/index.asp#CPU Does the BIOS detect and recognize the CPU?

You may want to check if the CPU actually runs at 2.93, as it seems the board only supports that FSB as "overclocked", maybe you need to manually select it to make it happen ...? I wouldn't however think that memory would run 400 vs 333 if it didn't change the FSB, but it's worth checking out, maybe …

If I can't repair it, I recycle, even on newer PSUs. I gutted the last one that died on me and made a simple filtered solder smoke extractor. :) Just a fixture for an active coal filter? I have a PSU lying in my electronics scrap bin, that I could consider giving that treatment too ... Maybe I'll …

My interest for a 3d printer has also increased lately. Not sure what to get, but I don't think I need a huge one. I would definitely advise you to buy one capable of at least 200x200x200 mm - as you get used to "I'll just print it", you will find yourself needing more print size :lol: My Ender 3v2 …

Looking for inspiration. As of now, I have a motherboard tray with no support for peripheral cards lying on top of a stack of til boxes. FDD/HDD/ODD lying next to it, power supply falling down often. It sucks, but I'm missing the inspiration to make something smart. Help me out here 😎
