    Those light bars are meant as under counter lighting, the pig tails are for hard-wiring the lights to your house wiring. There are supposed to be plastic plugs for the exposed ends. And also an interconnect piece, so you can daisy chain the lights. They're actually very neat to install when you have all the parts.

      Yea, as an RF metrologist it seems a bit paranoid to toss them because it's exposed 120VAC. Fill it with epoxy if you're not going to use the extension plug? Wax? All things we've used professionally to block off connections to live wires. They're recessed so nothing is going to contact them if you fill it with a dielectric solid.

      Some companies made stuff in the US and Europe but cost quite a bit more. I remember going to boutique or extremely niche sites back in those days for cooling components not found in the usual brick and mortar stores. FrozenPC was one of them and the rest escaped from memory at the moment. I had some moderate and high quality tubing and UV lights from a small shop near me (before they went out of business in the 2010s) and even some decent stuff from CompUSA. I think a lot of the mainstream UV stuff I bought was made by Antec.

I mean let me be clear it's not good, but it basically never gets to that flaky stage of the stock grey stuff every OEM seems to use and keeps on thermally conducting in a mediocre way for a long time. I used it on basically every office computer, laptop or desktop, that I've repaired for years and it keeps the bits from overheating. Side note because of how oily it is if you get it on something you don't want to, and you will because oil, you'll look like you've been fingering the tin man until you scrub your hands like you're prepping for surgery.

      That it CAN kill you, not that it necessarily WILL kill you. And that is potentially enough to kill someone, if they're unlucky.
      And if we're trading tales of electrocution, I got shocked by a wall socket - and I'm in the UK, so that's 240V, by the way - when I was a kid (about 9 or 10 years old, roughly).
      I had a cassette player (which dates how long ago this was) but it didn't have a UK three-pin plug, only a two-pin plug (I guess my parents purchased it in Europe or America or somewhere?). So I had to use a two-pin to three-pin adapter. The adapter was in the socket and turned on, and the two pin fell out. So I went to plug it back into the adapter, but I was insufficiently careful and my finger was (barely) touching one of the pins as I inserted it.
      It actually caused muscle paralysis. I initially couldn't will my hand to move away. The shock was keeping my hand in place. But, eventually, I was able to will my hand to move. I was in my room - no-one else around - so if I'd been unable to eventually force my hand to move... who knows? "Potentially fatal", as was said.
      And, yeah, a short temporary shock isn't so much the issue, generally, but that it could cause muscle paralysis - the electricity messing up the nervous system's messaging to say "move your hand away" (because the nervous system uses electricity itself, so there can be "interference" from being shocked) - and if you can't get yourself out of that paralysis, that's what'll do you in.

    I still have my double helix res from when I won it at a raffle during a local LAN party that the guy Linus bought his from was a vendor at. I also remember turning those Delrin caps on a lathe day in day out too. Depending on when the designed was reversed engineered, any leaks would just require a different o-ring size.

    I''ve got a set of coolmoon fans, same kit that was in the video. They work alright! Although i did have to replace the controller and remote because some buttons weren't working. But it was only $10

    3:48 "CNC machined" Or you know, its a pressed/cut piece of flat steel because that is a 100x cheaper to make

    I love wish. Apart from wishing you never purchased anything from them, it's really exciting to order something and have that same wonder of a childhood memories of Christmas excitement wondering what you're going to get.
    Is it a pet dog? Is it a new computer console? no, it's a calculator that blows bubbles that doubles as a foot scrubber. Thanks wish, just what I didn't order. I love it.
    The amount of fun you can have with a few dollars on wish is amazing. I can only imagine it's what blind people feel like when they leave the dollar tree stores.

    Alex’s engineering is normally spot on. Funny to watch the pair of you bodge this together.
