NAS or external radiator for your PC. Both projects are easy to follow on YouTube. Some people use towers for micro grows, but some people are also faggots.

I was going to suggest selling it, but it seems that you already tried that. You could make a new craigslist ad, and mention that you are open to negotiation if you haven't already.

I do not think that this case will make a good animal tank, especially a fish tank since it would be very difficult to seal off properly.

You could also use it to house a server or a NAS, that you could make using parts that you get used off of ebay (just not hard drives).

NZXT has good customer support, they sent me a side panel and screws for free for my phantom with no proof of purchase. (It got damaged). Ask for replacement pieces so it is in better condition and then try selling it.

if it's a continued problem why not just fix it?
I had the same issue until I spent all of $12 to replace the terminals and tossed some dielectric gel on there for good measure

they make a grease you can cover the terminals in thats suppose to fix the problem. ch3ck autoparts stor3.

>>1173883

I am not opposed to this how ever what would be the difference? Is there a certain type of terminal that works best?

Just change the oil after x so many hours. And with lawn mowers. Keep an eye on the air filter. And if you're mechanically inclined, change the jets in the carbs up a point. They are always lean as fuck because muh epa.

Rinse the deck and shit off after a day of use and fuck get a storage shed for it. Even a shit lawnmower will last ya like over 20 years if all this is done.

Always use gas without ethanol.

>>1173432
This is only true with shitty rubber gaskets. If its a new mower. Id hope they would use the newer shit. And I swear if you say "muh but it destroys brass too" I will kick a baby.

Horizontal position welds for reference. I think I'm moving too fast and not straight enough, but much better than the vertical position. Same settings

Another horizontal position butt joint weld for reference. Seemed pretty sturdy

Fucking hell, man. Try 1/8th or something.

Vertical up except when doing TIG is all about sweeping correctly.

Go to harbor fail and look through their tamper-proof sets. There is a pretty decent selection, but I haven't seen this exact one before. Good luck

If all else fails you could measure the circles and their offset with a digital micrometer and have a machinist make you a bit.

The whole point of these heads are that they are annoying as fuck to buy, and you probably won't be able to tag a name to them.
If you take it to a hardware store and they can't tell you shit, either call a machinist or drill 'em out.
You sure the previous site manager wasn't just being a bitch, or were security heads specified?

Nightly bump hoping there is someone who knows anything about this stuff.,

Contact the manufacturer by telephone and explain your situation.

It's a great way to be a hero at many jobs. I fucking ALWAYS get tech data on anything I can. See if they have any training materials. Make a contact because if you need tech support you'll already be familiar.

Well, people on cnc forums who looked same manual said they never heard back from manufacturer and from the looks of it it takes a lot of time to even learn whether they help you or not.

Since I've yet to start working if they start asking questions and I wont have an answer ready that will sound just dodgy so I am leaving this step for later.

I still could use all kind of wisdom even if anon dont have a manual on this stuff.
Dont want to fuck it up considering this little T800 looking thing cost a lot.
Plus its my first job and at first glance it looks somewhat promising and being a bit autistic I think I could learn it, especially that my wage will depend on how well I know my shit and currently I am literally starving.

BTW, how big the deal is math and technical drawing.
When I see anything math my mind goes blank, is there part of it I need to work on or casio and some book of formulas will do the trick?
I imagine technical drawing is a must so its something I want to pick up in coming days.

I apologize to you, I was referring to the other guy. If people weren't so retarded they would come up with something that could do what I need to do, but they can't, not even a little bit. Funny how that works.

>>1169836
Very feasible if you have renewable energy to power the ventilation and water supplies, and lighting to grow food

>>1169842
Geothermal energy is a possibility, but i dont know how deep we'd have to dig. Water could come from aquifers or hot springs

ventilation, strata and geological issues, size of roadways/cut throughs etc, support that needs to be installed, depth of cover, how do you plan to excavate the area? continuous miner and conveyor belt? how hard is the material? drill and blast? is the ground able to be blasted without special considerations? what's your budget?

Love it

Slap a plastic bag over it. Problem fucking solved.

Mofos used to do that all the time when smoking in the dorm room back in the day

>>1174243
Mine do that too. Solution is to stick it in my washer when I cook.

There is no solution other than moving it, or covering it up, which defeats the purpose.

Do you have an exhaust fan over your range?

>>1174243
Smoke alarms are supposed to be on the other side of a door from the kitchen and not inside a kitchen or in an area adjacent to a kitchen if there's no door. A lot of the smoke alarms tell you this in the installation instructions. Also, use a vent fan over your stove to help reduce odors/cooking smoke.

Do you have spare water and air filters as well as spare bulbs for the garden? Also, do you live near any major cities or nuclear targets?

>>1172028
Yes, yes, and the garden will use relatively low wattage LED grow lamps. They will outlive the rest of the bunker. As far as location, this will be built in a rural area, outside of approximate damage ranges for nuclear priority targets. This bunker will not take a direct hit, but should outlast an EMP. And even the immediate fallout, due to oxygen stores in the safe room. I even have multiples post EMP communication solutions established. Including a sat-comm uplink, and Ham radio.

Would recommend setting aside a room for air handling. Quite a lot of space needed for 3-stories, ducting, filters, scrubber, heater, de/humidifier, etc. I'd recommend you have all the switchgear, power panels in the same room? So a utility room is needed. Might as well throw in the control system for pumps and water there to save space. Also, I'd recommend having a deep bored well instead of trying to reuse the all the water, it will make things easier and cheaper than advanced grey-water filtration.

Just my two cents from moleman experience.

>however i go through most or all of a 20lb tank if i have any substantial amount of cans to melt

wtf, how many cans are you melting? i do about 2-300 cans in this: http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/bucketfurnace1.html

i weigh the 20lb tank before and after and it's like 2-3lbs of propane

>>1170915
What a cute little furnace.
So where you at and how far are you willing to travel to buy ifb's without paying shipping? Were you looking for k23's or k26's? I bet I can find something local that sells them. Amazon is shit for refractories.

>>1170954
Modified version of Grant Thompson's pipe burner at 10-15 psi in a small helium tank you get from Walmart cut in half and lined with ceramic blanket. I usually get anywhere from 5-10 lbs of ingots depending on how much I saved up.

>>1170955
Fairbanks Alaska. Closest place I can imagine having soft brick is Anchorage but that's 6 hours away so fuck that. Probably k26 just for that extra bit of resistance. Amazon absolutely is shit but it's also the cheapest option that doesn't involve literally $50 per brick shipping.

You OSHA guys can't even begin to understand the definition of being cucked. Try working at a mine with MSHA. Useless fucking cocksuckers are the mother of all government regulation faggots.

>>1167063
There are some retard mutherfuckers out there anon. Hell, i'm crippled for life from a 6 foot fall.

But at the same time i am not putting on a fucking harness to step up 6 inches off the ground onto a belt. Msha and osha are both out of their mind retard faggots.

>>1163612
is it bad? no as long as you make it sturdy and not retarded. is it good? if you just want a basic case then no its kinda dumb, if you want something snowflake like your pic, then sure because youre likely not going to find anything like that for sale or for 10x its worth because special snowflake

no air flow/exhaust == overheating

no sound dampening == noisy as fuck

wood == heavy to move around.

no cover == dusty as fuck

no cover == kids, animals touch = pain or wreck

its a terrible fuckin idea

Really think about how much work it's gonna be, how good are you at wood working? can you make a wood box?

Cut one off that toaster you never use. Problem solved.

I need answer too
