Reddit reviews Command Replacement Strips, Re-Hang Indoor Hooks, White, 6-Strips (17023P-ES)

A lot of water bottles would not have enough taper to prevent that from slipping. However you do make a good point. How about something non-permanent yet reliable AND not ugly like tape?

Since you can't screw anything into the desk, here's what I would do:

Grab some of these while they're on sale

Then grab some 3M Command Strips to hold up some sort of cable raceway like this (Although you can probably find something cheaper than this particular one at Lowes or Home Depot.)

Or you could just buy a few of these

Or a cable box like this. Personally, I'd go with the box and velcro strips, since your tower is so close to the outlet. Unless you plan to relocate it.

But most importantly for college dorm life: 3M command strips are your friend for almost everything.

One large strip will hold up to 5 pounds

I believe it was these... its been a while...

You really should mount it with nails or anchors.

But you could try using like 20 of these

I would suggest just to save your walls use these instead, it can hold a good amount of weight and safe on your paint

Were you using these things? Those should hold more than enough weight for beads.

I mounted my lighthouses with 2 large 3M strips each (https://www.amazon.com/Command-Mounting-Refill-Strips-6-Strip/dp/B000FCGS5Y), and they're holding up perfectly fine.

Out of an abundance of caution I take the lighthouses off the mounts when I'm not using them though, so just the wall mount stays affixed. I think doing that they'll last practically forever, or at least until the next time I move.

Haven't had any tracking issues either, the mounts stay pointed the right way so you can just stick the lighthouses back on and they end up in the exact same spot, or close enough to not matter.

But it seems as if he's only here to earn money, he didn't even show a walkthrough of the computer build, he isn't a regular, he doesn't contribute to discussion. He posted multiple times like I've already mentioned and nothing has changed in all those posts.

For approximately 24 hours (I think) after you've clicked a referral link, he will get a portion of the sale on anything you buy, so if you click a link to see the price of the something or investigate, he will earn money off everything you purchase in the next 24 hours off Amazon.

Should use some Command mounting strips

(sorry - thought this got eaten in a spam filter and was sad)
This is 3M magic adhesive that I have used before and doesn't cause damage when removed a year after application.

My flatmate speculates the wall is made of plaster, if that helps.

I was planning on using either:
large 3m strips
which are rated by 3M at 5 lbs/strip, and put 9 strips/board, and maybe fill in the gaps with something that comes 9 strips/pack like these medium strips (3lbs/strip)

I recommend the Command (https://www.amazon.com/Command-Refill-Strips-6-Strips-17023P-ES/dp/B000FCGS5Y) strips. They are SUPER good and one strip can hold around 3 pounds (I think a whole aurora ways less then that), so it should hold them pretty well, just use A TON.

I use the 3M temporary two sided tape. Holds solid and easy to take off with a plastic card between the stand and speaker. Just cut into smaller strips, they hold really well.

Edit: these

How do you remove them? do I also need to scrap some stuff with a razor blade?

The Targets by me sell refill packs. They are usually at the bottom of the shelf. Either that or Amazon.com

I've been moving my vive around a lot for demoing so they're great for temp use. The longest I've had a mount up before moving it is a week and it still had a strong stick.

those 745's just take standard 3.5" SATA Hard drives. the issue is that the hard drive caddy wont carry a 2.5" SSD.

you do get adapter rails, but many of them dont have the exact hole pattern of a standard 3.5" hard drive and may not fit in the Dell caddy.

what i would do is simply use a one or two command strips to attatch the drive to the Dell caddy.


i woud opt for a 120GB drive atleast
