    I intend to use an ultra hd TV as my main monitor.

    i did not see any hdmi spec on the video card, but I would recomend that any card you get has hdmi v2 hardware. HDMI v1.4 could limit you to 24fps while v2 gets up to 60fps. You may or not notice this and probably not in all content. Hdmi2 added a lot of features too. Like Dolby ATMOS and...

    PSU hack conversion of a 52vdc (out) down to 12vdc (out) on a shoestring.

    you need a DC/DC converter. most have a range input, like 18-75Vdc in. some have an adjustable voltage out, 12Vdc +/-5Vdc. depending on wattage they can range from a few dollars to a few hundred.

    Copper or aluminium phone Line

    Somewhere in your house is a junction box, where the cable from outside splits to your rooms. In that box you should see several conductors striped and tied to pins. Here the metal will be visible.

    Batch File Execution problem

    you have instances of "U:\%USERPROFILE%filename.ext", "%USERPROFILE%\filename.ext", and "%USERPROFILE%filename.ext" where i would expect the commands would be interpereted as "U:\U:\profiles\users\filename.ext", U:\profiles\users\\filename.ext", and "U:\profiles\users\filename.ext"...

    Batch File Execution problem

    looks like your rename syntax is wrong. you may have to copy then rename. also you can add lines like "date /t >>c:\backuplog.txt" and "time /t >>C:\backuplog.txt" to see what is happening when. to see if its running a command again or just logging it again. the "everything is ok" is just 7zip...

    Broken USB 3.0 Pin

    depending on the pin that broke, you may not have front usb, one port may not work, one port will not have 5v, or both will not have 5v. or you broke the redundant gnd pin and everything is fine.
