We threw out our old computer because a fan broke. 

And you people are allowed in our society?

[Zloff]

[Trymos]

We threw out our old computer due to a faulty motherboard and broken processor.

[Piarre]

smash it up and throw it out the windows!!

It was a really outdated computer anyways.


It was the equivalent of an elementary school computer lab computer.

By this I mean it had extremely outdated everything because their top priority isn't buying new computers so they use the same ones for ~10 years then get newer ones that are already outdated anyways.


But anyways my dad insisted upon getting a new one instead of replacing the fan.

edit:

The upside of this is now I have a gaming computer that's fairly modern.

The downside is it's Dell and the airflow works about as well as blowing through a coffee stirrer.

That's understandable. I'd like to think you salvaged some things like hard drive, RAM, GPU, case and HDDs (actually most of it), but meh. The mobo and CPU are the core components so I understand.

I salvaged the ram and GPU. Both caused a lot of problems as soon as they were put into new computers.
One made a stuffty dell run like a hurricane and slow as forget.
The GPU ended up making me throw out another computer. I was hoping to salvage the hard drive from that but that didn't happen.

Why would you do that due to a tiny HDD failure?
What a waste of computer. Just reformat and/or buy a new hard drive. They are like $60.

It's a pile of stuff that could barely run HL2 on the lowest settings anyway.
The reason we might have had to is because the guy we took it to for repairs gave it a new hard drive and it still wouldn't start.  It's fixed now.
