Soooper secret at the moment.
Actually no. I'm working on opening an online shop offering small items for PC Case customisation. Vandal switches, port covers, screw packs, etc.

Hmmm. I Googled lux industries, and got a furnace company and an underwear company...
I actually did a rough estimate with my ITX board... it can fit approx. 2 ITX systems within the motherboard tray, each with 1000 watts of power if I could hack something up using the redundant power supplies...
Of course, if I axed the drive bay, then I could totally fit more... Approx. 4 ITX systems.
The funny thing is, I bet that my janky GTX-480 chipped Nvidia Tesla has about as much compute power as the 4 dual core Opterons that were in that thing...
TIME TO INSTALL *a few* i9-7980XE ITX systems (overclocked on LN2, of course, of course)
Gosh, my perverted mind reads OPPAI each time you write "OPA!".

My journey trying to repair a old 2TB HDD from my university:
Tries connecting it via USB bridge to PC. Fails.
Tries measuring voltages. Fails.
Tries using PSU to power motor. Fails.
Tries using system to read from disk. Fails due to lack of VGA cable.
Tries using another system to read from disk. Discovers that the disk was thrown away for a reason (SMART Status: "bad")
How bad, you ask? I don't know, let's find out.
Tries flashing Manjaro to USB stick. Fails (due to lack of space on USB)
Tries using elementary to boot from USB. Fails (NO BIOS SETTING FOR BOOT FROM USB AAAAAHHHH)
Tries doing something useful in life for once. Fails and comes here (admittedly, I do learn from here!)
Press F to pay respects for my sanity. Tomorrow imma try to boot my system's important files from that disk.

You look better! You really do! Reminds me of some nice friendly middle-aged man in a public library helping you find books about physics (this is a real story, by the way) and then having a coffee (or two) with you and chatting about random things around you. Great for a mod.
(ends up mildly depressed due to lack of ability to grow facial hair of any sort: this may be hinting at something)

Can we get an 'En-bearded' forum banner?Changed my avatar to be more representative of my current beard status.
Well now I'm debating participating in movember lol. But this week has gone rather well academically. Quest for a motorcycle has been a mixed bag. Found an old Gilera, might go for that as a restoration project.
Saw Venom, which is hands down my favorite movie right now. I can't wait to see a cut that has the 45 minutes Tom Hardy really liked, because the pacing, action, and comedy were pretty rock solid throughout.
Been aching to get back into CAD. Radian needs to come to life, I've seen a number of very similar looking cases come out which squander the potential of the form factor. Plus I need to at least publish that first tutorial.
