If you've got the cash, you can go all out on [healthy water](https://phclinic.com.au/the-importance-of-water/).

An undersink 7 stage is nothing like a Britta jug. A 7 stage system - that's some serious shit, usually done by CoffeeSnobs members to…

I received mine earlier this week.

Nah, plenty of the PXC skins still require carbon brush "consumables" that are not covered by the replacement warranty.

Noctua fans for the workstations and servers. Be Quiet! high air flow fans were also great for longevity, but not very quiet.
