Separate function from outlook. Make the outlook like a skin that you can change. Make economy around skins that appease. Engineering underneath just works, for 100 years:D - I wish...
Totally agree with the article.
Two things go wrong:
- HDDs and fans (moving parts). HDDs replace for SSD, if you can afford it. You won't need a new PC for a long time, perhaps may be a NAS to put large stuff there.
- heatsink contact paste - change that and the oldie won't overhear anymore. I've done this on 10+ laptops for friends complaining their laptop overheats and shuts down. Usually works like a charm.
