For when you’re too lazy to buy a full height GPU bracket to support your P400…

The server room at work before I cleaned it up. The box fan was doing its best.

E-waste gaming laptop turned into a Frankenstein gaming PC
So I found this Medion Erazer Crawler E25 laptop with a broken screen, broken frame, broken hinge, 1 fan doesn't read RPM sometimes and a broken fan shroud for €50, everything else worked fine. It even came with 16gb 3200mhz RAM and a 512gb SSD (it also has a Ryzen 5 5600H and a 3050ti). I only had to make a makeshift fan shroud from a piece of paper and I had to use the HDMI port for display (disconnecting the internal screen makes the HDMI port the primary display) and boom! A fully working gaming system

Lenovo IdeaPad died after just 3 days of runtime (Caps Lock LED on boot). Peeled off the RAM shield and found this factory disaster.
Client brought in an IdeaPad (Ryzen 5000 series) that wouldn't POST—just a solid Caps Lock LED.
According to SMART data, the SSD had only ~84 hours of runtime (roughly 3.5 days). The machine was practically unused.
Performed standard diagnostics (isolated peripherals, CMOS reset, no liquid damage found), but when I peeled off the EMI tape over the soldered SK Hynix RAM, I found this crime scene. Massive glue blowout, bubbly epoxy, and spatter all over the traces and components. How did this pass factory QC?

Old Pop's GPU
My father asked me to clean up his old pc from 2010. There was what seemed to be pop spilled all over the back of the GPU. IPA didn't touch it so I ran it under the sink to clean it.
I did after running it under the tap soak it in IPA to try and push out all the water. Then dried it with a hair dryer on low. Threw it back into the pc and booted up fine.
The amount of dust was also nasty but that's not relavent for this sub.
