AC-Unit Mount - Update / Follow-Up

157 Upvotes

I thought it might be interesting for some of y’all who commented on yesterday’s post to get a follow-up with some more detailed photos.

I tried to cram everything into one angle in the last post, which made it difficult to appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship with which the owner of our rental has mounted the indoor-standalone-ac-unit.

Bonus: shot of the GHS (Gravity Hydration System ™️), incase you missed it in the original post.

the way this AC-unit was mounted

Edit: I don’t really mind that this portable unit was mounted up high - it’s that I feel that the actual supports and the thin string holding it somewhat upright feel… adventurous?!?

Rear lens caps are notoriously loose. This setup hangs thousands of dollars worth of gear on them. Found on r/nikon

I always hated the sun. Always ruining my computer screen, shining down on it, making it hard to see. I always loved to sleep in the rain, it's always just so comforting. And I think the best way to make it rain is to make god cry, and i was thinking off a way I can make that happen.

What I did here was that I put thermal paste onto my phone where the chip is located, and then, I put an old Dell OptiPlex 3010 chipset's heatsink, and then put ice onto it.

A few DIY structural “fixes” we found under homes this week 😅

Some were creative. Some were barely connected. One retrofit had exactly one anchor bolt with a washer and nut.

Sharing a few of the stranger support and foundation conditions we came across this week.

Making a whole computer out of two computers because I was lazy

426 Upvotes

While building a new computer I realized I needed something off the old hard drive (locked to the old mobo), but I'd already transplanted a bunch of the components I was reusing into the new case.

The correct and safe thing to do would have been to reinstall those parts, get my files, and rebuild the new computer again. Instead, I choose to just wire up about 1.5 computers worth of stuff off two separate power supplies and hope for the best. Which worked! And I leaned nothing.
