Back to life
I managed to get the CPU fan replaced with some Arctic Cooling product (cost 70 bucks just for the fan alone). But after installing it I can understand the supreme sense of fear and inferiority the Soviet Navy felt w.r.t the United States Navy.
I mean - I can barely hear my new fan (unless I strain my ears to hear it) whereas my old fan was easily heard from outside the room. How can you even compare the two to start with? The Japanese expression for this is 桁違い (literally meaning ‘difference in number of zeroes/magnitude’).
Anyway that’s the end of my random post. Okay maybe it isn’t quite so random.
