A little over a year ago, I bought a great computer from one of the members here (I forget who it was, sorry). Like most computers, it collects dust inside and I've cleaned it out many times. Today was a bit different, as I decided to remove the fan (TT Volcano 7) and give the heatsink fins a good blowing out and cleaning.
So I'm blowing it out, blowing it out, a little more.. yep, got the dust bunny.. that one too.. ok.. time for the bursh to get some of the 'caked on' stuff. So I brush, and brush and brush... scrub it a bit, scrub a little more.. oh.. whats this... looks like a loose fin.. hmm.. no.. its white, not copper.. and it slides back and forth.. lets see.. oh.. this is interesting...
A case badge..
I'm guessing he didn't know it was in there.. I certainly didn't..
Its amazing what you find when you clean things..
