That's part of the fun!I used to but do enough of them over the years, and I have, and the novelty starts to wear off. Especially those times you finally press the power button that first time and absolutely nothing happens.

The idea of buying premade just doesn't compute with me anymore.
Eww.Since this machine is my main PC, multi screen game station, RAID tower file server, A/V capture card etc the idea of having to rebuild and recable everything internally and outside is making me break out in a cold sweat.
Eww.
Seperation!
FFS.Considering I also have 3 NAS servers, 3 Linux machines, 2 Raspberry PI's, a streaming server and more monitors than NASA if I separated any more I think I'd need my own data centre.
Nah. One box.Seperation!
What bollox is this?Nah. One box.
Especially for video store. As far as I can see, people buy NASes and suffer hardware failures and lose their shit. With 'dose you just import your drives elsewhere.
Maybe you can resolve that, of course, but I'd done with my techie learning
FFS.
Virtualisation.
Depending on the hypervisor used you should be able to do passthrough for all those workloads. I have never needed to do passthrough of GPUs so have no direct experience.FFS. Granny. Suck. Eggs
I can't visualise most of it since - 1 Linux + Nvidia card for ML dev work. 1 Linux + AMD for OpenCL dev work and SRV-IO, DPDK testing. 1 Linux for scratch server, container and virtualisation testing, screaming that K8's is wank and why can't things be simple anymore. I do have a plan to consolidate the NAS's but that's non-urgent as honestly all the sailing across the internet in a pirate ship has slowed down since streaming in now so easy.

When I built my current PC it didn't boot with no indication as to what was wrong. I was tearing my hair out, reseating everything inside, trying it with 1 DIMM in each slot etc. I could not figure out what was causing it to fail.
It turned out, if you use a naff DisplayPort cable which isn't standards-compliant (which is actually a surprising number of them), the power pin is connected at both ends, causing the monitor to send a tiny bit of power backwards down the cable which completely confuses the PSU or motherboard or whatever and causes it to panic and instantly turn off.
So, I learned something new that day. Either boot without the cable plugged in and plug it in after you're through the POST (obviously a pain in the arse) or buy a standards-compliant cable.
Use pcpartpicker It shows compatible stuffsWhen I built this rig I genuinely thought the i7 8700k was a simple socket 1151 form processor. Lots of parts went to and from Amazon before I found out there is a socket 1151 V2
6 Pi's???FFS.
Virtualisation.
I have
1 main pc
2 NAS (one has 16 drives in it, the other has 6 drives)
6 Raspberry PIs (HSM, NTP servers, tvheadend, home automation)
3 streaming headends (2 intel nucs, 1 Minix U9-H)
3 monitors (two of which are those Dell ones)
Level1techs did a bunch of stuff mucking around with passthroughsFFS. Granny. Suck. Eggs

Yeh, for example my 2 NTP servers cannot be virtualised due to the hardware they require to be stratum 1. Same for the home automation hub. Oh and I have some running flight tracking stuff.6 Pi's???

Nope. And its one big pain. But it does seem like the fault is eminating out from the right side near the bottom as you say. The surface is smooth outside and unless it was shot at with a bb gun nothing that could hit it.Looks to me like something hit it on the bottom right side in the middle square.

@Edmond seen this before?
Damn you dont want a weeks vacation thrown in haha.This is toughened glass, you can usually see where it starts from, and yes i would say the bottom of the middle square, but as you say its one pane.
It could be a spacing packer behind the bead that has always been there but has always been a little bit tight. The slam of the door or just general expansion/contraction is enough to set it off. The weakest part of toughened glass is the edge, you can smash the hell out of the surface with a hammer and it will not break, but tap the bare edge and boom!!
I'm not coming down to Cornwall to change it for you either
A website hosting company that insists on me either having a static IP to access their FTP servers (which costs money) or asking them to whitelist my IP every time my modem reconnects (which can be multiple times a day). That's not normal, is it? Their firewall seems to be ridiculously tight, I never had problems with it for the first 10 or so years of my time with them.
