Tangent: Author has this fabulous post I'd highly recommend: https://fabiensanglard.net/mjolnir/index.html

I read it once years ago and I come back to it every now and then wishing my current PC (10+ years and going) would gently die so I could finally build something small and tiny.

You know, accidents happen. If you were to trip over the carpet and that venerable PC falls in the dumpster.

Ah that's where your wrong, see it's called Mjolnir. Only the worthy can move it.

It's totally not because its density is probably close to lead given the concentration of parts in such a tiny space, with some rubber feat that thing ain't going nowhere.

Ha! No chance, my case comes in at a beefy 18kg (purchased circa 2008). Some of the components are slowly starting to give up the ghost. My GPU purchased in 2011-03 died a few weeks ago.

So it's happening, unfortunately I'm not paying for new RAM. So I'm planning a new rig around my existing CMK64GX4M4A2400C14 sticks.

This sounds kinda premeditated though...

Maybe walk back and forth a bit dragging your feet on said carpet and open your pc for ‘maintenance’ and accidentally fry some critical component?
