So instead of starting a new topic about my luck, I figured I'd hijack my old topic about my luck.
So, my power supply has been making loud noises the past week and I just bought a duster to try to clean it out. I noticed the fan blades weren't running too fast. I tried blowing it clean, but nothing changed. So we went to a memorial to my uncle(who passed away on the 7th) and when we came back. Fan blades dead in their tracks. My two exhaust fans are still working fine, but I don't know how long my power supply has before it burns out. Good news about that is the fact that nearby is a Micro Center, which sells the exact model of power supply, so I can pick it up after work tomorrow. If one of my fans didn't emit a bright blue light, I might not have noticed the issue with the fan blades until it was too late.
Edit: So, as a precaution, I switched to using a combo of my Wii U, PS4 and phone to fill the space. I don't want it overheating while I'm sleeping as its literally four feet away from the bed. If my legs were longer, I could literally kick the tower on its desk.
