I'm not available for battling at this time, because Nintendo thought it was a good idea to completely remove Ditto hunting from Pokemon Platinum.

Internal Fan died and I'm not paying $400+ to get it fixed.
It was a 5 year old comp anyway, so it was a matter of time, I reckon.

Ouch. That's not cool. And not true. My uncle had one for a month and the fan literally *fell*; my uncle is a clumsy mofo.

OrangeNova, can you put a fan into a computer? Safely? Without breaking anything?

Alright I give up, I think it's because my fans never break, which is why I never change them, which is why I always hear about people sending in theire computers because the fan breaks, and I go with it <<

I can take apart a computer down to parts and then put it back together perfectly fine.

I can also build a computer from scrap parts.. so i'm the wrong person to ask this.. but it's still piss easy.
