No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Looking into my trash, it's more like half a bucket, the other half being crumpled paper towels.
Sadly, I only remembered to take a single one before the process started. You can see an alarming amount of dust on certain parts if you look closely.
Warning for tech-gore, maybe? Again, I'm not a tech person. The back has always been partially open. This was built by someone else, and it's...... probably not standard.
Wow that is... Magnificent! I'm glad you de-dusted it but I'd be more worried about cables becoming disconnected while you're trying to clean it.
Glad it worked out for you though! Fingers crossed it continues to workπ€
FYI the PSU box with those black shielded power cables is meant to fit internally in the big hole at the top π€£
I usually use compressed air to clean the dust out of my cases. If you're feeling adventurous, you could slide that side panel off and attempt to re-home the PSU inside the case.ππ€£
Aye, forget the dust, this whole rig with the PSU hanging out is sketchy af. Also, the barely hanging expansion slot cover, waiting to short something with the slightest bump is also a nice touch.
It's my kinda computer lol π€£ Nothing should really short though as long as all the connectors are securely connected.
The PSU is sketch but likely fine. I'm more worried about the expansion slot cover that's barely hanging.
I have an old pic somewhere of an old Frankenstein PC with the case cut with tin snips to fit a bigger GPU. It also had an external PSU for a while, although I did add a ground wire between the PSU and case. I'll see if I can find it.
Yeah and I didn't even notice before but WTH is the ATX plug doing on the outside of the case anyway π€£
