Rockstar's $400 GTA 6 collector's edition, which excludes the game itself and includes branded merchandise, has prompted fans to 3D-print items like the Macca the Alligator mascot instead of purchasing it. The high price and lack of physical game copy has sparked debate in the gaming community, with reactions divided between those praising the creative workaround and others arguing it defeats the purpose of owning rare collectibles.
A user built a custom home server from a repurposed Zotac MAGNUS EN1070K compact computer to avoid cloud storage fees and privacy concerns. The project involved 3D-printed extensions, a hot-swap drive cage, and six 8TB hard drives in a RAIDZ2 encrypted pool providing 29TB of usable storage for family files and backups.
