Top 5 Reasons Your PC Is Cooked

Aussie Summer Edition

It's 42 degrees in the western suburbs. No aircon, and your room is hotter than the inside of the PC.
Too many Chrome tabs. Eighteen paused YouTube videos, nine eBay listings and the cricket on in the background.
Dust. The filters haven't been cleaned since Gillard was Prime Minister.
Dead thermal paste. It turned to chalk years ago.
A possum. Check the case. Seriously.

The Liquid Nitrogen Fund

We are trying to raise $500 for a slab of VB and a tank of liquid nitrogen to put out the server before it goes through the floor.

Fund: $0 / $500 AUD

Money goes to actual cooling hardware. Honest.
