I was wondering when people consider themselves to have a new PC. Technically I’ve had the same PC for close to 20 years now, but every part’s been upgraded several times over.
I figure everyone’s got a different mind about it. For me, I’d have to say when all of the big three—CPU, GPU, mobo—have completed a phase, my brain thinks of the previous setup as “the old PC”.


Just pop the side onto a drill press, add a few holes. That metal isn’t too thick
I’ve been thinking about that. Or maybe a bottom mounted fan, would be a shame to ruin the look.
Not if you have pets. You’ll need a screen to stop hair getting into the case if you have cats/dogs.
That’s still easy enough to get at most home hardware stores.
