ScottyDont commented on [Afterpay] AMD Ryzen 9 5950x CPU $764.15 Delivered @ gg.tech365 eBay
This looks sufficiently overkill for my upcoming Nas/home assistant build, might wait for a non afterpay deal though

I ordered a us-8-60w, it's an 8 port switch with 4 Poe, a little overkill but works if you want it managed

ScottyDont commented on Find Me a Deal on a Ubiquiti U6-Lite
That's about the best you'll find. I ordered mine for $170 through wireless1 but it wasn't in stock at the time. I won't see it til October...

Same, a little ball of foil and a AAA brings it down close to the G Pro wireless for a fraction of the price

That's excellent, new thermal paste can be a great way to get temps under control, sounds like yours is no longer throttling
