Oh I still have 12 more fans left to mount once my @Spotswoodpieces show up. 

 

I use the regular Dremel to cut stuff, and the little discs only go so far, but that thing would be real nice for me. I'll have to look into getting one.

 

...a few years ago, I actually bought a relatively bulky 1Kw table saw complete with a metal-cutting blade at Home Depot to prep an older PC build with copper tubing...I still have tinnitus just thinking about that one -  in a condo 30 floors up in a downtown high-rise ...turns out that even the 'little' Dremel could do that required cutting in a cinch.

 

...the 'Borg Dremel model' is for heavier-gauge steel and aluminum cutting (ie. modding a 3/4 inch test-bench frame), and it also has a 3/4 inch drywall cutting arrangement that will come in handy for my home office renovation (...at the cost of also renovating the kitchen-dining area - coz...females' dream kitchen demands for trade-off)

How bad did you get raped for that bottle of Isopropyl?  Before covid, 99% was about $4.50 a quart.

It's actually been fluctuating on Amazon since before COVID, at least the MG version has. I paid:

 

$17.79 for a quart on June 12, 2017

$12.87 on June 11, 2018

$12.86 on February 19, 2019

$20.03 on July 15, 2020

$16.84 on May 14, 2021

$18.53 for the most recent order on August 30, 2021.

 

Currently, you can order a quart sized six pack via Amazon, which reduces the price per to $10.29 each. It can be had for less elsewhere these days, but not much less if you factor in shipping to the total cost:

 

 

I suspect the days of yours pricewise are gone forever though, at least at the spec'd qty.

 

(Welcome to the new world order...)

ok but why is Area 51 a distributor 

[J7SC_Orion]

The updated home-office builds, aka Ravens' Nest (5 mobos, 3 cases), is finally nearing completion...

 

Below some extra surge-protected power bars (up to 4KW total on two circuits), plus a variety of 'this-and-that', including an extra Bitspower D5 pump top (9x D5 in the total build/s). Final assembly soon after a lot of custom fabrication; about time as furniture is piled up where my new home-office will be - my family is not happy about the mess below, but can't vacate the other areas currently in use until everything is wired up, including existing servers, network stuff etc.

they're not, it's a ruse. if you look closely, they don't stock the stuff.
