Surely the granddaddy of all old game being kept alive is the original XCOM: Ufo Defence with its OpenXCom Extended mod scene. I've literally just started yet another playthrough of this, it is just a superb game made even better with all the QoL improvements and mods OpenXCom allows.

I still have the Chieftec but it is out in the garage at the mo, current system is in a Corsair 700D, which I have chopped up with various power tools even more than the Chieftec. I will be bringing it out of retirement though to be used as a dedicated backing up PC, i.e. just stuff it with...

My AI bot does all my tipping for me, I don't get involved.

If is a full tower Cheiftec Dragon there should be plenty of room in the top of the case and above PSU to fit that 280mm radiator. I have one myself and before I water cooled I cut a 120mm fan hole on top. I know from experience the top of the case on a Dragon will be too thick to cut with a...

Also, by the looks of it, it is made from some kind of stone.

I used to find those weird rectangular bottles in the little stream in front of our house when I was a kid. This was a non-descript stream in a quite sparsely populated village out in the sticks, which wouldn't have even been built in ye olden times. So if they where there, I can only imagine...

You won't have been able to format them as 1.44mb as they probably don't have the extra notch in the back side, opposite corner to where the write protect notch is. Without that the drive will physically detect it as a non HD disk and stop you right there.

If any of your big cases have decent air intake grills or meshes on the front, where the hard drives would be or maybe even where the 5.25" bays are, I would just take a drill to the rivets holding any cradle steelwork in place and chop them out and suss out how to fix the AIO. Also, post...

Thanks for that, that's the kind of info I was after.

Signal will be checked of course, I get acceptable signal for streaming on the O2 network where they are. It doesn't have to be earth shatteringly fast, even being able to watch youtube at 1080p would be nice, their current broadband is absolutely diabolical. Was hoping for some testimonials on...

Cannot get 5G out in the sticks where my folks are, 4G seems like it would be viable, either straight up or with an extra aerial fitted, get a reasonable signal on my phone at least. The purpose of the thread is for recommendations on the better suppliers of 4G broadband in terms of the ongoing...

The council dog warden came round to my neighbour once.

I got some bacon infused mayonnaise. It is one of the quickest things I've ever gone off of. After the first initial time I used it and got that bacon hit and kind of liked it. But basically the next time I used it I was like errgh. Still 90% of the bottle left. So it is possible for bacon to...

Store your data on a NAS, and have a dog guard the NAS.

On the priming front, in an open loop system, which your sucking it out of the pond and dump back into the pond would be, it means the pump either has to be manually primed before each run, or it has to be a self priming pump. The "priming" bit means for a pump to start to throw water out of the...

If the mystery 10k item isn't a gold plated air fryer I will be most disappointed.

Funny how out of the ordinary threads like this get you thinking. How's about this to get around the dirty pond water problem. Make the loop a more normal closed loop system with that block, a pump and a small res to facilitate filling, though you technically can do without a res if you just...

Anyway, now you kind of know your mums side of the story, and you started this by saying your aunt was dropping hints, I would go back to your aunt and describe your mum chat to her and find out exactly what your aunt really knows about all this, and go from there. If I was a betting man I'd bet...
