@Shrigglepuss not too dissimilar to my last tower, minus fire damage!
@Shrigglepuss oh shit, how did you get my PC?!
@Shrigglepuss I see you opened my PC xD
@Shrigglepuss@godforsaken.website if there's a tiny pile of cat puke down under that SSD, yeah sorry about that, that's my old computer.
@Shrigglepuss pls make it go away
@Shrigglepuss oh god is that rly bare copper wire touching metal and floating about electronics
@Shrigglepuss Function over form went a little too far
@Shrigglepuss My day job. Have Noctua fans, drive mounting plates, ESD kit and a brush; will travel.
@proactiveservices My day job too, that's why I'm looking at it
@Shrigglepuss I think there's only two of my customers rocking systems with floppy drives in them. One of them also has an SSD, they're like myths that refuse to die.
@Shrigglepuss "yes sir, the "hyper cooling" unit was installed!"
@Shrigglepuss there’s a lot going on this picture. That’s a shit ton of cables for most of the large bays being empty. Then there’s a couple normal looking hard drives but, wait, is that white thing on the bottom right another drive? And maybe you wouldn’t need to strap an extra fan on there if you hadn’t wedged in 40 meters of cabling.
@Shrigglepuss i did nt come here too be called out like this
@Shrigglepuss Every day I thank god my latest tower came with removable dust traps
@GreatJoe That's the least of its problems right now 😂
@GreatJoe It's a lot to take in isn't it haha
@Shrigglepuss That before/after is so satisfying, though, thank you for your service.
@Shrigglepuss this is such a satisfying before & after
@Shrigglepuss the before-after contrast is striking!
@ljwrites before and after a visit to my computer health spa
@Shrigglepuss @ljwrites This is like, the only makeover show I would watch
@ljwrites @Shrigglepuss how will it survive without its Space Fan though!!
I don’t understand the initial amount of cable. 😵💫
@stragu @Shrigglepuss the Space Fan is now in space cooling us all 💫
@ljwrites @Shrigglepuss and that’s how Shrigg casually solved global warming.
And computer innards from hell.
@stragu @Shrigglepuss "reckon I can fix the Earth if I can fix these hunks of metal from hell!"
@Shrigglepuss I wish my computer had 'Turbo 3D'. That sounds great.
@Shrigglepuss gasp
@Shrigglepuss I thought it looked familiar, until I noticed the mounting on the "space fan" That's even too much for my sketchy installing proclivities.
@Shrigglepuss
Sweet baby jesus! Just because you can doesn't mean you should!
@Shrigglepuss Cable managment By Petiso Orejudo.
@Shrigglepuss
Normal?
That's what they look like when I get them.
@Shrigglepuss That is hugely reminiscent of my frankenbox ca 2000, which never had the side on, and at least one hard drive perched on something inappropriate outside of it at all times. That's not wildly inappropriate construction, it's "character".
@Shrigglepuss the least realistic thing about PC Building Simulator is that you won't encounter anything like this
@Shrigglepuss wtaf
@Shrigglepuss It resembles a computer, but I’m not an expert so I’m not sure.
@Shrigglepuss my old computer looked almost exactly like that
@Shrigglepuss That's... innovative
@Shrigglepuss SCP-079 has breached containment
@Shrigglepuss nice cable management 👍
@Shrigglepuss My first PC had a cardboard box instead of a case, so it could be worse
@Shrigglepuss hey, we all have different cable management philosophies....
@Shrigglepuss “yes no I do all my repairs myself”
@Shrigglepuss wtfff lmao
@Shrigglepuss wow that picture just made me sneeze
@Shrigglepuss oh dear
@Shrigglepuss@godforsaken.website nooooo what are you doing in my PC!
@Shrigglepuss I once worked on a tower PC in a warehouse. Someone had left a slot cover off and several mice were living in it.
Anyway, now I can get to work fixing the issue this actually came in with oops
