Commander X16

I got a small bin full of /IO shields from many years of servicing PCs, mostly from replacing motherboards obviously. I need to toss them, most of the boards they went to are long gone and they're just taking up space. ?

Personally, in terms of the X16, I don't need one, keep costs lower. If I want one, I'll design and print one. PLA plastic is more than capable of fending off PB&J sandwich attacks. Or in my case, keeping cat paws out of my cases. ? ?‍⬛

Jokes on you, I'm gonna buy the kit and put it together while wearing my tin foil hat, thanks very much!

I heard there's a real danger of overheating your brain while wearing those... so make sure not to wear it for more than four hours at a time.

With a good heatsink attached you can easily go for 8-12 hours! However, the trick is not to make the hat a perfect parabolic surface, as something may fry....

Note that this is most effective for those who shave their heads or are naturally bald, as shampoos that work well taking out heatsink paste are surprisingly hard to track down.

I hope you're not talking from need/experience
