Lifelong DIY since I was a toddler, still am, houses, cars, computers, bicycles, etc............first computer project in quite a few years, last was a very compact and high powered system for iRacing while traveling in RV to tracks around the country to drive a fast car on....things happened to change everything but it was fun while it lasted which was just building a few cars until I got the one I wanted nearly done.
I still have a very modified, fast, fun, Fiesta St, put it on a lift, designed many of the parts, 1,000 hours and $$$$$ of money later, built in 2014 from a new car. Been in storage for years, need to clean it up and get it sold, to expensive in my retirement after the Covid crap........I bet I am still pretty quick if I was to take it on track, will be 72 in May
I will start a thread on my build, basically had an Optiplex 7040 SFF I tweaked a bit 3 years ago then never used. Bought a 5080, converted to 7080 with only the case left over....then bought a 7010 Plus MB and.....then I figured I might as well sell it all off and build a custom SFF instead, cost is about the same.
