I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took hours with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!!
Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else…? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot much faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!
Aye, forget the dust, this whole rig with the PSU hanging out is sketchy af. Also, the barely hanging expansion slot cover, waiting to short something with the slightest bump is also a nice touch.
It’s my kinda computer lol 🤣 Nothing should really short though as long as all the connectors are securely connected.
The PSU is sketch but likely fine. I’m more worried about the expansion slot cover that’s barely hanging.
I have an old pic somewhere of an old Frankenstein PC with the case cut with tin snips to fit a bigger GPU. It also had an external PSU for a while, although I did add a ground wire between the PSU and case. I’ll see if I can find it.
Yeah and I didn’t even notice before but WTH is the ATX plug doing on the outside of the case anyway 🤣
