I thought I'd bought a board without an NVMe slot at first

I should have known really, remember those pics if Samsung ssd that was 90% empty space because the chip is far smaller than the form factor? edit: or was that one of the fake ones with a USB to sata bridge to a USB stick in a 3.5 drive case

the only platters left in my house are in my NAS and the seek clicks were so distracting because all the other computers were now basically silent i ended up cutting four little styrofoam blocks for the NAS' feet to isolate it from the shelf it was on and it quieted down considerably

i remember looking at getting an AIO until realizing that it wouldn't be any quieter than a regular fan, since you've effectively just moved the fan to a different location and then added pump noise on top of it

water cooling (generallt) gets you better thermals at the same noise level plus more time to max temp so you can handle burst loads longer before the fans kick on.

being able to handle burst loads is critical for many yosposters.

run a refrigeration lineset to a compressor+condenser on the roof, easy peasy now all the noise is far away from where you are * may not actually be "easy peasy"

Pentium D805 being so overclockable it could on air cooling outperform intel's $1000 Pentium Extreme Edition The significant general performance boost you could get by installing a second HDD and moving the Windows page file to the other drive That time algae grew in my waterblock after not using my desktop for a month

no-cd cracks. in college I bought hit man 2 (original obv), installed the no cd crack, re-shrink wrapped the box at the suncoast a friend worked at, carefully reapplied the original price sticker, and returned it. this also worked with cdrwin to copy PlayStation games at 1x speed in freeware mode to return to electronics boutique. return policies used to be so permissive and now they're not for some reason 🤨

I figured out that you could buy their preorders which came with bonus reward points then return the game and keep the points. I also often managed to actually finish the game inside the 7 day return window on account of being a teen with nothing better to do.
