My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.

I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that’s the next task.) #lowtechtech

The question isn’t whether would enjoy it, it’s whether or not would solve the issue.

Of course, he’d enjoy flamethrowing the PC. So would everyone including you and me and the next guy and his dog if he could work the trigger with his tongue.

Think about it, if had to fix it with tongue, the flamethrower would be the lesser of two evils

Be thankful aren’t an animal lacking opposable thumbs and flexible enough with an insatiable urge to lick own butthole
