Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Done something similar when my CPU cooler didn't fit the HP case
So .. you have to remove your CPU cooler to open the case? That does not look very convenient.
Is that some kind of blade server? Doesn’t that make it like not rack with other blades?
No it's just a 1U server. It does mean that the next 3U over the server can't be fully used (switches would probably clear). That server pretty much replaced my whole stack except for my NAS so I had space available.
It's also way more quiet than those damn pesky 1U fans and I had the space available in my rack
I don't know why but this has me rolling. Genuinely had to catch my breath.
Happy to know my redneck engineering made you laugh! It was either that or a custom water loop.
If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid.
i mean there are things that work and that are stupid, and will stay stupid. using toothpaste for example as thermal paste is doable and you can get usable temps with it. but the con is that toothpaste dries up very quickly, requiring you to need to constantly reapply it.
it works, but its still a stupid idea.
Like a hotrod?
Yup, the back plate for my CPU cooler wouldn't fit because of some weird struts my case has, so I cut open the case, just enough to fit it.
