I have spoken about how I build computers.  I don't do it very often but this was the first time I used a water cooling system for the CPU.  I built this on in 2016.  I had to rebuild it again in early 2021.  The case I used was too cheap, and it began breaking down.  Plastic parts started breaking and one of the USB plugs also broke.  I was looking for a picture of my new case, but I so far I don't know what happened to it.

@tryingtosurvive2024 you make working computers😮😮 that's pure genius, you are now officially the most cleverest person I know ❤ I actually made a real working clock once, but I just bought the mechanical part on Amazon and just attach to the clock I drew/made😁

@Tinywhisper11  When I was in Middle School, I took Industrial Tech, and the teacher had us make our own clocks like that.  We all got wood boards and glued them together, did some wood working and put the numbers on it, and attached the motor.  I later took the motor off of it, and replaced a motor on another clock that wasn't working.  Now I need to replace that motor again.  The battery corroded it all up.  Mom wants me to fix another clock.  Yeah I got to go buy a motor for that one too.  Hopefully I can find something that works.  

I just snapped a quick picture of the way my computer currently looks.  I had to rebuild it into a new case.  Now it is really dusty.
