[2026-07-22T10:16:01Z] <sad_plan> huzzaah 
[2026-07-22T10:19:53Z] <sad_plan> kris_: i cleaned my desktop today. now its like new, but holy shit it was dusty inside the cpu cooler lol
[2026-07-22T10:25:44Z] <kris_> yeah they get grody
[2026-07-22T10:25:52Z] <kris_> usually i use a paint brush to clean my stuff 
[2026-07-22T10:33:32Z] <sad_plan> yeah i just started the compressor in the garage, and blew it out carefully. my case is super tight, so i cant really get in anywhere without taking the whole thing appart
[2026-07-22T10:40:26Z] <kris_> i need to try out a compressor for that
[2026-07-22T10:41:34Z] <kris_> i also have one in the garage but usually i'm using it for like a nail gun or something
[2026-07-22T11:36:48Z] <sad_plan> yeah it worked like a dream for me. took like 2 minutes to clean the machine out. although my case is 2.9L, so its not very big :P
[2026-07-22T11:55:06Z] <kris_> most of my things are mid towers
[2026-07-22T11:55:19Z] <kris_> my desktop is in an nzxt h7 flow, probably my fav case
[2026-07-22T11:55:26Z] <kris_> server is in a fractal design define r5
[2026-07-22T12:06:07Z] <sad_plan> I see. still easy to blow clean with a compressor though. just not as easy to lug out into the garage :P
[2026-07-22T16:53:40Z] <midfavila> and those parts i was looking at are already sold out
[2026-07-22T16:53:41Z] <midfavila> lmao
[2026-07-22T16:53:48Z] <midfavila> i'm glad i pulled the trigger
[2026-07-22T16:57:11Z] <sad_plan> lucky you I guess
[2026-07-22T17:00:05Z] <midfavila> i guess so
[2026-07-22T17:00:28Z] <midfavila> they're made by a guy in his garage in the middle of japan basically so supply is "whenever i feel like it" and demand is basically unlimited
[2026-07-22T17:08:35Z] <sad_plan> hm, so it seems he has really done good for himself. he could demand quite a large chunk of cash for his product, if its in so high demand
[2026-07-22T17:15:04Z] <midfavila> well, then people wouldn't buy it, lmao
[2026-07-22T17:15:37Z] <midfavila> part of the reason people buy it is because it's from a smaller manufacturer and people like to support that. there are cheaper options that are similar enough from medium or large manufacturers
[2026-07-22T17:16:23Z] <midfavila> actually, a pretty common workaround during supply shortages is to get an old cruiser-style handlebar from the american manufacturer wald. they're like 30 bucks and heavy as shit but they're a close enough substitute. 
[2026-07-22T17:16:37Z] <midfavila> at least when it comes to the handlebars from this other company.
