PC load-bearing letter

Because that is a hack [...] not a solution!

I do want to take a deeper look at what's going on eventually, yeah. It's one of the fans built into the case, though, rather than something I added during the build, so I'm going to have to see how easily I can remove it in the first place. I love the space and the wire management this case allows, but its parts are more tightly attached (if apparently not tightly enough in this case) than others I've worked with in the past.

Looks like a solution to me

Lets look around at materials on hand:

• a piece of paper

• a flamethrower

Not what i woulda chosen either

Not anymore, I hope from his description...

I dont think so, you can tell by the shadow on the right

Thanks for fielding that! Yeah, the perspective's quite deceptive. There's actually about an inch and a half of air between them.

EDIT: That was meant to be a reply to @FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world Still trying to get a handle on responding to Lemmy threads from this (very much non-Lemmy) server.

If your PC is that hot, you have bigger issues.

According to this article, the average temp for paper to ignite is ~230° C (or ~455° F, Fahrenheit 451 anyone?). Your PC will never reach those temps short of a serious electrical issue, and then you have bigger problems than a piece of paper burning up.

Literally Fahrenheit 451

If it gets that hot inside your PC, the burning paper is the last thing you'll notice.

That's a feature for another day
