I would have said the same thing last week. Been building PCs for 21 years. First time. This one has been running for over a year too.
In my defense I always use Noctua heatsinks the last several years (except this time) which don’t have a plastic peel.
Also curious what you’ve moved to. I’ve been meaning to try Plex on windows but even if that works there’s still the remote problem. The shield is definitely getting long in the tooth though and the ads all over the Home Screen sure don’t help.
Selling my wife's barely used base model MacBook Air 13.6-inch, M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD in Starlight. No defects, includes original box and charger as well as a ($200 MSRP) Apple leather sleeve.

Lol dude was just trying to help you out. That’s a great deal. Tons of people have purchased refurbished hard drives with no issues and the price is cheaper than you’d pay for most used drives with no warranty.
Honestly if you can get a new sn850x 2TB for that price you should take it. Prices have spiked since Black Friday. I haven’t seen anything close to that.
Well it depends on the rest of the system as well and if you’re gonna be running both CPU and GPU full tilt simultaneously or a typical gaming workload.
Lots of SFF builds with the SF750 PSU and 4090s with AMD CPUs running without issue. 13900K and up would be pushing it for sure.
Just because it costs them more money to make it doesn't mean it's worth more. Sliger isn't a big company either but they managed to make an extremely similar product for much cheaper.
Yeah sure if you need exactly what 45 drives is offering, there doesn't seem to be any alternative so you...
Perhaps the most direct comparison. Here is NEW 3U chassis with 10 hotswap drives for $300 shipped. With the superior design of being front loaded. So again, how does 15 drives for $800 make sense? Actually I think 45 Drives charges shipping on top of the $800 but you can't even tell without...
Also explain to me how this case will last longer than any other case included used gear? They’re all basically just steal. I have a chenbro chassis that’s going on 15 years old.
Another thing is why would anyone want a top loading case over the standard front load design with hard drive sleds/trays? Now you have to either have it at the top of a short rack or rails are mandatory and you have to probably power off and unplug the server to slide it out of the rack just...
Yeah these are the videos I’m referring to. I’m still waiting on an explanation of how a $100 case plus backplane = $800. Not to mention the fact it’s a super niche part from a tiny company. Unlike buying a Dell or Supermicro where replacement parts are readily available on the used market and...
Can someone please explain to me in what universe this thing is worth $800? It looks like any generic $100 ATX case flipped on it's side plus a 15 drive SATA backplane.
Every YouTuber on the planet is pimping this thing like there's no tomorrow. I'm guessing that's because 45 Drives flew them...
