from my twitter:

I started mocking up my DIY workstation enclosure case. I will make it with cheap aluminum extrusions from aliexpress and some plywood sheets, maybe acrylic if I can find that cheap.

expect it to def change once I'm done designing, it's late

this is in openscad

red = 450mm extrusion

white = 500mm extrusion

brown 'sienna' = 150mm extrusion

green = a 3.5" hard drive

purple = ATX power supply

black = my motherboard

beige = plywood sheet

blue = large radiator

light blue = 12cm fan

I can change the extrusion sizes programmatically if I need more space or can cut down on space.

issue is this radiator I bought is 15.5" long so that doesn't leave much vertical room for other stuff like the hard drive rack.

unfortunately might need a couple smaller radiators.

Workstation Thread 2022

I think this will be the final design:

room for 3 hard drives and a liquid cooling reservoir + extra space between mobo and fans and above and below that. and there should be space on the exterior for vents, PCIe io, and whatever else.

the code: https://github.com/greenempower/workstation/blob/main/casing/mockup.scad

I count 4 red, 7 white, 9 brown extrusions. I'll get extra of each especially the 150mm brown extrusions.

updates -

Ok I ordered $80 worth of aluminum extrusions - $5 discount - $10 extra I prob won't use for this.

Instead of ordering the 150mm precut I ordered 8x 300mm because they are tangibly cheaper per mm so I will cut them in half as needed and have a few left over.

I will prob get plywood from home depot and plastic sheets (cheap PETG or acrylic) from mcmastercarr.

It's faster now, great.

I thought this was a great introduction to lisp as someone who wants to be more familiar. I'm growing more interested in the channel.

If you are unfamiliar with the AV1 codec well it is the successor to VP9 which was in the same class of h.264 which was and still is prolific on the internet. AV1 is a big jump over h264...

MediaTek was early to implemented AV1 in their Dimensity smartphone chips since 2019. And if you aren't aware those are in a lot of Chinese smartphones.

There is now a decent chance you own and use a device that supports AV1 decoding. This means that AV1 I think is going to take over the internet in the next few years.

Although AV1 is free and open source, it is a result of corporate socialism and Google's CIA influence. It probably wouldn't even be possible in the capitalist framework otherwise because big surprise intellectual property isn't actually good for innovation or much else.
