I must confess that the eleven year old me didn't realize it would be a problem to put a screwdriver through the PSU grid to stop the fan from making noise and that it may have been preventing that musheen from working properly at some point.

Yeah, I am sensible to some sound :/.

The eleven years old me was doing the contrary: starting a crappy/sticky PSU fan with a screwdriver not realizing there was a "slight" risk of electrocution (never got a chock however, I guess I was somewhat aware of the danger).

I'm guilty of this at 14; this was the only way I could get away with late night BBSing since the fan was loud and other folks would be disrupted into halting my modem joy. Only when our EE neighbor saw my rig and sternly told me not to do that did I realize it meant anything at all. sheesh
