On my way home from work today I picked up a "bundle" from a computer store
which had a CPU, MB and RAM in it.

I asked the kid "Do I need anything else?" he said Nope.

Came home ripped apart the case, removed the video card, the MB etc. Install the
new CPU what's missing?  No thermal paste or a CPU fan.

I haven't upgraded this computer in 17 years.... I assumed the giant box the CPU
came in would have the CPU fan in it.

Sigh.

Besides none of the parts look like they belong in a desktop so I'm just gonna
give it all to my kid let her upgrade her computer and I'll throw my HDD's in
the lake.

I now embrace the throw away lifestyle.  Buy cheap use it a year throw it in the
lake and buy a new one.

... I'm not tense, just terribly alert!
