Oh, man, a whole new psu? Well, no CDs for my birthday *this* year. :(
Thankfully, my birthday money is coming in 'cause my birthday is next
Tuesday. Or can I just replace the fan? I have another psu sitting around
here and its fan is perfectly fine, it's just a mite underpowered to put in
this computer. But do you think I should try to swap fans, or would I
prolly kill myself?

Um, it has a tire attachment, I just found out this weekend. My parents use
it for everything from blowing up bike tires to cleaning dust out of the
computers to cleaning dust out of ceramic molds. *shrug* I assumed it was
safe, since my dad said so. *sigh* Shouldn't have aimed it at the psu, eh?

You know you've been hacking too long when...

you realize that the "something" is a post-it on your screen.
