Just wondering if you have had any luck with your Monument 1. I am in the same boat. I have a 2013 model macbook that I was hoping I could use with older software to keep this thing running to update my photos but so far I have had no luck. I can't get my monument connected to my new wifi which seem...

@imp-inventor Thanks! I appreciate it. I’ll definitely share some progress photos once I get a little further along. I’m still experimenting with the pour depth and trying to keep bubbles under control, especially around the thicker sections of the table. This is the deep pour epoxy I’m using for...

I'd love to see it! That sounds like such an awesome project. I've never worked with epoxy besides JBWeld, so I won't be any help, but I'd still like to see it.

@hiddenvector well, it's not the most helpful experience but I accidentally picked up an MSI GL63-8RD, from the previous gen, i7-8750H, 1050ti 4gb. I think it doesn't have usb-c output capabilities (at least I got no reaction), but it's happy outputting everything on HDMI. My main project I'm stil...

Hey great video. What size copper wire did you use?

Can you give us more information on the pcb pillars please? You seem to drill straight through the aluminium so I suppose the pillars are secured on the reverse side with some kind of bolt? What size pillars did you use for your laptop? My salvaged ultra book seems to use m2.

Hi @diyperks! I saw the video the day it came out and actually picked up a board just this week. It's the also an HP Omen one like the one in your video! I did run into the problem of it's heatsink not being available on the market anywhere! So I had been researching possible copper heatsinks that...

I will give closing lid a try. So far I have been unable to reach bios. Have managed to get Linux booted and running on an external display.   Thanks   MrG  

I would definitely use Matt's capsule design. (I've done some boards for heads but adds to the cost because JLC won't let me bundle them *and god knows, I've tried. ;)Variable gain is very much as Matt's original (no point chucking away a perfectly good design). The only thing is - and this applies ...

@marcdraco Thanks for you answer! No worries at all, real life is more important than the internet.   My own cat decided 5.30 in the morning every single day was the only time he would get cuddly, and frankly a bit too playful with his claws so I definitely know the feeling 😵 &...

  Those are pretty good deals, though #2 and #8 are both non-functional boards. #7 would be an amazing board for a PC build, but it's bloody expensive. I could buy a single stick of DDR5 RAM for that much 😁  

@mrgreen you can change the boot order, every laptop and pc allows that, is secure boot disabled? you have to use the arrow keys or pgUp or pgDn keys, the BIOS shows how to change the boot order on the right side, like a info tab.

@mrgreen disconnect the display cable and close the lid, and connect external display and try again, maybe the lid close sensor still thinks that the internal display is still connected.

@jordiemc   What kind of colloidal silica did you use? When I searched for products, it seems like that there's quite a few different types, there's also powder types sold as resin filler for construction. It would help if you could tell me the specific brand and/or where you sourced it fr...
