daunting realization with just ten or twenty euros of parts i could build a third scrap computer
there's a mini case, which has its own psu, and there's a motherboard i can get a lga1155 CPU for cheaply (not sure if it works, fallback is an am3 board with a broken heat sensor so fan always goes full tilt) and then a couple sticks of ddr3 and maybe an ssd (i do have a hard drives) and then i will have a third computer to do nothing with
