  • I don’t remember ever seeing that exactly but I’ve seen all manner of cheap hardware and user error. Had a lady complain about her cup holder one time and yes she was talking about the cd drive. When we pulled the drive apart after replacing it there was a huge amount of dried coffee in it. She must have like it nearly solid with sugar and cream. Some guy came in complaining the windows background looked like sunset. It was overheating. The cpu and video card fan had so much paper dust in it that the fan blades had noticeably worn away and the dust had a mirror finish. I really wish I had taken a picture of that one.






  • I haven’t looked that close but for a computer its too old for anything other than retro gaming and it looks like it may be too cheap for that.

    Edit: Now that I’ve bothered to ‘enhance’ its older than 2009. It doesn’t look like a AM2 or AM3 socket to me. The processor has pins and the computer has a socket. Its a Pentium 4 socket 478 at best. With the plastic locking lever it may be socket 423 which dates it at around 2000. I would keep it just to fuck around with.
