They should have had Dracula transform into a bat in front of Batman and say, “I’m the real Goddamn Batman.”

That would’ve been epic beyond words.

I wonder if someone could make mine look like that somehow but without looking like shit.

For those bikers who want to show their geekness they have a truly badass dark knight inspired armored jacket and an x inspired one. Almost makes me want to buy a bike just to put on one of these jackets

I love the old 50’s sci-fi films this fan trailer of a 50’s Avengers movie is awesome
Computer question: I don’t know much about computers but I’ll try to explain it as best I can. I had problems with overheating and figured out it was a wire that broke and caused my main fan(the one with the cooling fins) to stop working. I soldered it back together and it seems to be working fine with no problems.
My question is, on the back of the fan there is a little disk, it looks like a copper penny with a layer of tarnish or oxidation on the surface. Should I clean this with a solution of some kind or should I leave it the fuck alone because it’s working fine. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Thanks in advance.

Dammit it’s hard to get a hold of someone when I can’t PM them! On top of that, my computer at home broke down on me yesterday which leaves me without email access for the moment!
As I tried to say before, it’s probably just fine as it is but I suspect this is the CPU fan, not just one attached to a the case, right?
If so, it wouldn’t hurt to spend $15-20 on a new heat sink or just a fan as opposed to forking out 5-10x that on a fried CPU or motherboard.
I’ve tried cleaning them out before when this happens and while it worked for a while, the fan died within a few weeks. I can’t say why this happened, could be wear and tear with a little humidity, but I can’t say for sure.
Regarding your other question, if you want to elaborate on that and discuss it here I’d be happy to help. If you want to play new games on your computer but aren’t sure if you want to invest in it because it’s old, you could simply start upgrading components to update it without buying an entirely new system. That is of course unless you have a Dell, in which case, I wouldn’t upgrade it if you are looking to play new games OFTEN. Rather buy/build something new.

Not exactly sure what you are asking here. Pics would help.
Here is a pic of the fan I’m talking about. The copper wachamacallit looks like it’s got a layer of crud on it.
And RSGZ, my son still hasn’t got back to me on the graphics card upgrade I was thinking about so I still might need some advice. In the meantime I’ll get the specs on the PC I have now to give you a better idea of what we’re working with.

Hold on, that looks like the heatsink the fan sits on - you removed the fan to take the picture - right?
Sure, post up any specs and I’ll see what I can suggest.

Think that’s a fabricated clip. Recognized scenes from the Avengers (Diana Riggs,british series, 1960’s) Rocket man, called Iron man here, and think I even caught a few quick Dr Strangelove scenes. Most those characters weren’t around til the 60’s either, e.g. the Wasp was created in 1963.

wait a minute. that’s not crud, i’m pretty sure it’s thermal compound. that’s the stuff that helps the heat transfer from what needs to be cooled (IME, the GPU or CPU) to the heat sink, which is what’s in the picture.
it would be a good idea to reapply that stuff before you put your computer back together, as that will contribute to how well your system cools.
any tech junkies can correct me if i’m wrong, but these are the problems i ran into with my xbox, inefficient cooling.

You know, you may be right since I’m trying to figure out where the fan comes into this. I’ve had the internal copper coil of fans oxidize and fill up with crap, which is what I was referring too.
Thermal compound is meant to seal up the micro-gaps in the heatsink to provide an even surface with as much contact as possible for the most heat absorption from the processor. It makes a BIG difference.
