Decided it was time to upgrade from my trusty Alienware 34" OLED ultrawide to something with more pixels. LG 32" 4K OLED 240Hz.

I've been thinking about upgrading mine for ages and ages. Thing is, to do so would cost around £500. It may not look different to my old one, but it has -
500w brushless motor.
Larger steppers with manual controls.
Limit switches (so I never have to hear the sound of grinding gears again)
A stop button.
Larger rails (12mm vs 10mm)
All metal body and motor holder (plastic now)
48v PSU vs 24 now.
New controller board that can take 48v (so I would need a new one, as even a higher RPM motor nearly melted it)
And so on.
I got 5% off, so it cost me £246. I will be able to use my 40cm extension (so it will be a 3040), but the rails will need making by my mate. Existing rails are 10mm, but the centre screw part remains the same. Oh and the side extensions of course.
I will put the old one back to stock, and can run simple slower jobs on it.

I love Lego. Sadly the Lego I loved was Technic and I would have no idea where to start. What I mean is whilst I do love Lego I have never seen anything I really would want to build. As kids my cousin and I were obsessed with roller coasters and theme parks. Even though I was too chicken to go on any big ones it was the engineering etc behind them. And of course theme parks were kick ass and I loved going !. Moreover my cousin and I would make spinning rides that had little carriages on them that would level out as it span. God, the hours we dumped into those things. One thing we could never make from Lego though was a coaster...
So last night I was poking around on Ali and stumbled across this.
I had to.
Another nice project for when the winter sets in.

Picked up 3 sets of these as they were finally at a good price where I found them at £22 a set new which is quite the saving even compared to when I've seen them on offer thou waiting on cables in the next few days to fit fully, simple PSU acrylic cover with blue frost and a decal is all I'm honestly doing but might get more acrylic and do the whole of the lower case rather than just over the PSU undecided as yet, just some simple sanding to do on the temp cuts and placement I made nothing special, just always wanted these but they were such a high cost when first launched. So £82 imported from the USA for three sets was hard to pass up tbh thou have two extra control boxes that wont be needed may or may not get a 4th set in due course but you can't run more than 36 off one box in terms of software limits it too 18 per connector. They are simply laid out atm not even tested as didn't want to open up the case until I got myself some sata splitters for the mech drives so I will then have plenty of sata to add the 4 that are needed to power these lights, then just kinda neatly behind the frosted acrylic to hide the mess lol. Otherwise no other PC/Tech related items atm.
