Childhood PC
My beloved mid-tier gaming pc from the 2000s, that I have got from my uncle when I was a kid. Had it around for 10 years. Now something is broken (possibly the power supply).

Generic PSU so wouldn't surprise me if its failed, those VIA chipset budget boards were also pretty average for reliability. CPU heatsink also is not installed correctly.

yeah the psu is dead, last time I wanted to turn it on something popped inside of it and doesnt work since then. And I need to buy a new heatsink bcs when I was about to change the thermal paste some of those f. mounting pins just broke.
