Finally found a 5.25 cigarette lighter and ashtray bay. Too bad the bay is sideways so the ashtray is useless.

    How to make your PC smell like ass 101

    I have no scientific or educated reason for this, but somehow this seems like a bad idea. Really I think concentrating the heat when so much of the PC is dedicated to cooling the rig down is bothering me…neat idea though.

      lrg just posted a video about this…probably older model but he also said it looked it would be super dangerous for the surrounding hardware.

      Pretty much anything not air going into the fans is bad…it accumulates on the blades themselves.

      Like if you vape heavily, the syrup and oils will harden on the blades into a crusty paste and ruin your airflow…and make the PC smell like ass. Saw the results via a Reddit post.

      I’m not entirely sure what weed smoke will do but I guarantee you it will make the internals smell like a fucking dead skunk.

        It doesn’t, not one bit.

        It does however get a slightly more sticky dust, but I have found this to actually make it easier to clean. It’s kind of like rubbing your hands together on a hot day after petting a dog - the dust just kind of rolls to itself and peels right off.

        Quick edit: I realize I think I’ve only been dry herb vaping since I built my PC, so I actually can’t speak to what weed smoke itself does! But… weed vapor isn’t too bad compared to other things.

    Had one of these bad boys back in the 90s. Cool novelty, functional as a lighter.
    Brought it to the LAN party. Someone asked what it was for. I reached into my backpack and pulled out my radar detector and plugged it in.

    Congrats on your find. If you ever need to charge your phone, but only have a car adapter, you’re in luck!

    Might be able to 3d print a vertical one (if you have a printer). Less of an opening and harder to use though.

    I think it’s great that this exists!

    So you’ve turned your PC into a Cadillac. Respect.
