So earlier in the year I got a new PC etc etc but after a lil while I had to deal with the fan hub going weird, replaced that ... fine. All good.
Then in August there was the SSD killing Windows update scare that happened.. well I was fine... w/e good.

But now I have a dodgy case fan (one of the ones in the front) and it goes brrrr until I push on it a little and then its good for the rest of a session, only when I boot up the PC the next day do I need to repeat... again thankfully its only a case fan but still a pain- so I asked the peeps who made my PC if they could point me in the direction of getting a new one just for the sake of matching the rest- fine! They were kind enough to send me one and my tired ass this morning thought it would be a good idea to get started and try to replace it..

... in the process (in this order!)... I...
- Stupidly couldn't figure out how to get the front part of the case off and like a complete fucking idiot broke the clips that hold the grate that sits in-front of the fans, so now that just sits snug instead of clipped in (thankfully it doesnt come out...)
- Gave up on that and followed the cables from the fan to find a hole they were routed through! NICE ... fuck it I think I can get the plugs out .. just barely.. good enough lets do that ...
-Take out the fan after trying to find a screwdriver short enough so I could unscrew them from inside the PC and remove it! ... NICE Getting somewhere!
- ........ wait I dont have the right plugs/cables here to replace the ones that were plugged into the fan hub.... fuck.... uhhh well I have one of them... and a SATA power lead on the new fan, lemme uh... try that ....
- Hook that up, plug in PC and power on ..... colours or speed dont match and I can't change it to either. BUGGER.
- Get annoyed now I have to somehow get the old fan BACK IN ... which painfully I managed to do after struggling with cable spaghetti... and well....

Now I'm back at the start. I didn't fuck up anything more than the clips on the case and my PC is still good at least.. it was only a case fan afterall but fml... I still have to push on it to realign the bearing on boot up... at least nothing has changed... everything works still and I am back to square one.

I just had to send an embarrassing email once more explaining my situation and that the fan they kindly sent FOR FREE can't actually be plugged in because it didn't have the same stuff as the old one... aaaa... I hate this...

...also yeah sorry for the lack of anything here... I'm still all messed up and have zero motivation... :( Sorry....
