Nope; two of my PC's died, and I actually mourn the loss of one.
But to be honest; my first idea is a new PC. If that's done, I'll buy new lungs, promised.

Sounds like a problem more serious than computers dying. Do you have air quality sensors?

..several, smoke alarm, there's a CO2 alarm, there's a cat.
As a smoker I did neither smell nor taste it. Well, now I do.

The paint turning gray was a soot detector.
I can't think of any mechanism that would allow low levels of combustion products to kill electronics though; and am wondering if it's just a bizarre coincidence of timing.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Tx. This desktop I might actually bury in the garden.

I just read the fine print on the Verizon website. I was looking to upgrade, and I thought I might like a 5G phone to replace my 4G phone.
I discovered that Verizon offers two different tiers of 5G service. The good one delivers the new 5G experience. And the other tier offers an experience that they say is comparable to 4G.
Guess which one you must pay extra for? Any time a new technology comes out, it's time to charge more!

Just get your COVID booster and you'll have glorious 5G at no extra charge.

There are two forms of 5G - the "directed beam" which offers very high speed but requires numerous short range transmitters and hence is usually only available in densely populated areas where the antennas can be placed, well, everywhere. The "unidirectional" version of 5G is essentially equivalent to 4G in performance, I don't remember the particular nuances. Depending on where you live or commute to, the higher cost tier may be pointless.

Nothing is pointless to the golden parachutes of the executives offering such wonderful services!

My motherboard arrived today, and it ways as much as an entire laptop. Maybe an older laptop at that.
Between that, my monstrous CPU cooler, and my all glass chassis I'm not sure if I'll be able to lift the thing.

Tell me about it. My Threadripper machine has a glass case and it must weigh over 40 pounds!

Threadrippers? Jeez. I just saw one on newegg for $6500 - just the CPU. 64-cores but at over $100 a core no thank you.
I just have an i5-13600K. It's a nasty chip - ranks among the i9s performancewise - a bit of a sleeper by the model line, but not the multicore perf the threadripper has. I was focusing on single core performance anyway.

Agreed, the third generation threadrippers are unbelievably priced. Mine is a second generation. 2990WX.

I do not want any moving parts in my next desktop.
No fans, not anything that moves. And it needs a 3d card with the same restrictions. And cheap, please.
I do not even accept a bloody cooler as they make sound. Suggestions?

Nothing convection is cheap. You can probably find an all in one ITX for like $700 but it won't be a performer.

modern fans are really quiet.
My new computer has 2x input, 1x output and 2x (fractal design pop air case) on the cooler (bequiet cooler)
Games will push them up, but they stay quiet.
