  2. Just realised yesterday that I will have my 20th anniversary with water-cooling on the 24th of Dec. Gave me a big shock of how old I got, but huge geek vibes to still love putting in all the extra work to OC the sh*t out of my systems šŸ˜€

  3. I like that pretty much 90 – 95% of all this gunk, corrosion and other stuff that they violently react to is a everyday life for a car mechanic.

    Now, I know that PCs and cars isn't the same thing and one are expected to find alot more mistreated equipment on a car, but still. I'm sitting here like "hmm that wasn't so bad" and then Alex and Linus are almost vomiting šŸ˜„
