Ponnayao waren, mata issara wechcha katawak matak wuna!!!
When I was in Melbourne, Australia from 1998-2004 I did some crazy shit sometimes
Once I remember I needed money urgently (which was like every other day. lol).
Anyway I wanted to sell of my gaming machine. Think this was back in 1999 or 2000.
My PC had a Celeron 400 processor, which was the top mainstream workhorse at the time.
Here's a link to the exact specs of that machine- http://mwalatara.tripod.com/newcomp.html
Anyways so I sometimes had the machine overclocked to 500 within the BIOS. Because I did not have aftermarket cooling for the processor, this turned out to be too much an OC. During gaming, sometimes even on the desktop it would just freeze.
So to fix that I would open the case and point a small table fan direct at the CPU area. This provided enough cooling and stopped the freezing.
Time came when I had to sell it, I figured sell it to some stupid international student from the nearby Monash University. I printed out a really nice ad flyer for the PC and posted it at the Uni student noticeboards. And voila the call came poring in!
