Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!
Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho.
Comment on Does a clean PC run better than one with a lot of dust in it?
tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 2 months agoWow that is… Magnificent! I’m glad you de-dusted it but I’d be more worried about cables becoming disconnected while you’re trying to clean it.
Glad it worked out for you though! Fingers crossed it continues to work🤗
FYI the PSU box with those black shielded power cables is meant to fit internally in the big hole at the top 🤣

It’s meant to be right behind/in the big rectangular hole. It should have some screw holes on the side where it connects to the outlet (likely also has a power switch) that match up with the ones in the case. It looks like there’s an optical drive in the way though. If you like I can try my best to circle them for you.
I’d love (hate) to see the computer with the side panel open.

Fan too big. ):

If it works don’t fix it. Only issue might be extra dust but it sounds like there’s no solving that issue in your computer.

Aye, forget the dust, this whole rig with the PSU hanging out is sketchy af. Also, the barely hanging expansion slot cover, waiting to short something with the slightest bump is also a nice touch.

It’s my kinda computer lol 🤣 Nothing should really short though as long as all the connectors are securely connected.

The PSU is sketch but likely fine. I’m more worried about the expansion slot cover that’s barely hanging.

Yeah and I didn’t even notice before but WTH is the ATX plug doing on the outside of the case anyway 🤣
