My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.

I tracked the tapping noise to the case fan, poked at it a bit, and realized it got perfectly happy with just a bit of upward support. So, a bit of bridging between that and the top of the card cutouts just below, and I have a near-silent computer again! (Ignore the dust, that’s the next task.) #lowtechtech

    Thanks for fielding that! Yeah, the perspective’s quite deceptive. There’s actually about an inch and a half of air between them.

    EDIT: That was meant to be a reply to @[email protected] Still trying to get a handle on responding to Lemmy threads from this (very much non-Lemmy) server.
