Pegged my Windows 10 PC this afternoon

Costco doesn't need to sell box wine. Costco is largest wine seller in US.
I like the ones from France (Sorry Napa Valley).

Costco sells a chit-load of boxed wine, Kirkland Signature. All the high volume producers supply them. If you can get past the lack of nose, face-ripping tannins, and zippo finish, it's a cheap way to go about it. Same with the cheap imports, especially the subsidized French stuff.

I must have never noticed the cheap boxed wine. I don't like to drink my wine in bulk. The good taste diminishes as days go by.

I'm not due for an upgrade from my M1 (which easily runs my entire software business, including demanding coding loads) until prob M6 or even M7 is out. Apple laptops last for so long. Even my Intel MacBook Pro lasted 7 years and that chip was a honker and could fry an egg.

I currently do not have a strong need for anything more than my Mac Studio M2 Ultra. I can do 70B models. If I need more, I could rent time on a cloud LLM system. With your own system, you can let it run for hours or days - that is a significant advantage.

Where I do run out of resources on my current M2 Ultra is:

1. I only have 1Tb of principal on board storage - and many things, such as 365 Microsoft and Adobe, insist on being installed directly on the computer's onboard storage. I would want at least 2 TB or possibly 4 TB (if I can afford it), but not more.
2. I have 64 GB of memory, which is not bad, but I could currently use 128Gb, and I should plan for at least 254Gb for the future. I think I will want 254 GB minimum.
3. You can always use more CPUs and GPUs - and Efficiency Cores. I would get the max.
4. Always get max Ethernet.

Can I run two from my one chassis fan port?

Maybe with a splitter pigtail? Is the fan port you're trying to use on the case or MoBo?

PSU cable on the left, control header plugs in on the right from a vacant fan header on the MoBo (there should be 2-4 open depending on the MoBo). Use bios to control fan curves

It took some effort, but finally completed my new UAD 3.6-Ready build:

I got the case fans running —17 of them. I traced the wiring back from the fans to the PSU and found a brand new 4-pin Molex with only two pins. Weird.
