That moment when your only PC accidently takes a 5 meters drop, and ends up looking like this:
(Note: I didn't hit it with a hammer, or anything. This was purely the fall)
Sooo... What do I do? Simple... I remove all the internal components, store them, (The Motherboard and graphics card in a sweater, because they were dusty as hell) Order the same case new, online, and drilled all the old components back in it, in a matter so incompetent it would make a qualified person cry in a corner for at least 15 minutes.
A hopeless attempt? I think so too.
My PC, however, (or what was left of it) did not.
It did not give 1/2'a damn...
No reboot/repair, no files lost, nothing...
Internet works, browser works, steam works. You wanna play team fortress 2 on this ex train-wreck?
No problem! Go play team fudging fortress 2...
I actually booted up the game and joined a server. It just worked like it was nobodys business. No preformance drops, no increased loading times. Nothing!
Now, I'm not quite shure how. But this PC from Asia built parts managed to show itself as a prime example of Dutch engineering.
"Never built to last forever. But just does it anyways"

What does anyone, who knows a little more about computers, think about this?
Expected results? Or totally surprised?
Quite normal, or something that could never have happened?
I'm curious!
