Well, that was a bust. Replaced the CPU on the motherboard - CPU error light still goes on as soon as it powers up and it's not POSTing - can't even reach the bios.

Apart from replacing the motherboard I can't think of anything else.

    One of the shoulder buttons on my old is failing… 🫤

    This is one reason why I like : failing input devices can be repaired/replaced separately from the computer and display. And even if I get an entirely new PC, my old games will still work, going back 45 years.

    Unless their code does something so outrageously unwise that Microsoft bans them, that is. Looking at you, .

        Found one video with a test comparison:

        https://youtu.be/SSet5kP83VA

        If you watch, feel free to skip to the results summary around the seven minute mark.

        Too Long Didn't Watch: the open air case performs about as well as an expensive case designed for great airflow.

        You should at least pay attention to onboard components that benefit from cooling and maybe have fans mounted to point at those area... but even if you don't, the thermal performance is good.

        The end of the video cover the drawbacks of not have a case enclosure. No physical protection and no dust filtering, so you would have to manually blow the dust and other collected material off the components regularly (once a month or so).

            After almost 5 years of using company-provided MacBooks, I’ve decided to have my own. My last personal laptop was a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex5, and it is now my daughter’s laptop, so I was without a personal PC for years. It felt like homelessness.

            Switching from space gray company-provided M2 Pro to my own silver M4 Pro.

            Also, I really like to set up new laptops and phones from scratch.

              I'm up at an obscene hour working on my gaming PC that i have mounted to my living room wall. Currently rerouting the water cooling loop

              Ask me anything, LMAO, including "Why did i think this was a good idea?"
