Random things you do to your PC/Hardware/Peripheral

What would you do to your PC/Hardware/Peripheral when you're bored?

 

For my keyboard, I would take off the keycaps just to look at the Cherry MX switch/es and the LED switching different lighting modes. 

 

And sometimes, for some reason, I would install my sister's old HDD from her broken laptop and look through some files and pictures. Apparently I used that laptop a lot back then.

I try to keep grease off of my peripherals, and off my phone.  My friend saw me "clean my phone" with a microfiber cloth gently, he was like wtf!?!?!  and I feel like a complete noob around him now :P

You feel like a complete noob? Then what is he?...

 

+1 for cleaning for phone :)

I clean my peripherals, for some reason that is very weird to many people. Also I keep sticky and fat foods away from them.

So im not the only one with OCD?

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Bored? whats that, I have two kids 1.5 fulltime jobs and the rest of the time I spend on LTT avoiding life.  Plus I have a house to maintain and renovate so the missus lets me keep my man cave.

Clean everything of finger marks, and keep doing cable management

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Hes the guy who spills juice on his keyboard and goes meh, and he has an iPod that I spent ages saving up for.  I gave him it for his birthday and now its got scratches and cracks and cheese powder in the cracks.

I clean the keyboard feet and keycaps when I have free time and clean up the dust in the radiator every once in a while.

I lube all the moving parts with super anti lag grease, keeps it tip top! ;)

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.
