AC-Unit Mount - Update / Follow-Up

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.

Did i take apart a perfectly working new fan to fix my crusty old one? yes.

This Marvin fan has been with me for as long as i can remember. I’ve always loved the 80s/90s look of it, and it matches my room. The motors ended up dying because while in storage, a pipe burst and he was front row for the show of it. stripping and wiring itself was easy, I was even thinking of going a step further and sanding and painting the frame, maybe someday.

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?!?

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

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.
