I’ve been building my own computers for over 15 years now. The idea of throwing all of it in the trash because it didn’t work made me laugh out loud at how absurd it is. Many people successfully assemble their own computers all the time, while never sharing it on YT. These days it’s as easy as it’s ever been.

As for the repair shop, kind of sounds like they just didn’t want your business.

Thanks for "hnsplaining" my own experience to me. I had no way of testing which part was faulty, or if it was faulty in a way that caused other components to fail.

I said there was no point in doing it, not that it can't be done. With a top Elonesque mind such as yours you should probably know the difference. Tips fedora.
