My Family's Desktop Heritage
I've found my family's PC and its peripherals

| PC DELL tower |
I was looking for my yellow paper pad but I have noticed the dusty PC while I am looking for my yellow paper pad. After I've found my yellow pad and done writing on it I came back and then I started to check what's inside of a an old 2015 PC. By that time I've also found an old dusty keyboard along with PC. The keyboard calls my attention to clean and to make it useful for future purposes. This PC contains a lot of old components that's why its heavy for a reason while the new components at least what I have witnessed are light weight and efficient for the core of the motherboard. This tower was purchased in 2015 which makes the components don't work because of unattended maintenance and dusty enough for defection.
The keyboard is very dusty but operational so I took a picture of the dell keyboard and it looks like this.

| Dell keyboard and the cleaning tools |
This keyboard in the photo has been dusted off and is partially cleaned. I did not film myself to clean every part of the computer because it is difficult to take a video of myself while I am holding my cleaning tools or parts. and this is why.
In this difficulty, I still managed to film this. So I want to pat myself in the back and say well done vince.
What I am doing there is I'm checking the status of the Compact Disk Drive if it is rusted or defected. Which leads me to thinking that this CD drive is still useful but unfortunately I have no connectors for that.

| The disconnected CD drive |
This drive is disconnected from its motherboard because I'm the one who disconnect it because it is tangled and hard to take a picture of it. The compact disk drive is intact which is stable to use it again but some of the components are not working so I have to leave it disconnected. The drive is still able but it needs all-working-components motherboard to run smoothly in the monitor.
About the monitor, the VGA wire has been corroded to rust so the monitor is not usable anymore.

I have lots of memories in this computer, I try to learn the basics of solitaire and purple place in this PC monitor the green hills wallpaper OS of nostalgia which I will never forget. It takes me a year ago even though it feels like a yesterday. I miss those days but I have to keep moving forward in order to prosper. I used to study Microsoft's word,excel, and power point in those days and now I use them for productivity and for university presentation.
In those old days, majority of the my country men and women don't know about computer science and Microsoft's assets and they don't even know how to use excel so they have adapted it few years back when cherry mobile is the trend like the iphone.
This monitor displays nostalgia in any kind of angle I will be facing.
Now move on to the tower, the implements are very tangled and messy because my family purchased it so we are the second owner of this PC however it is expensive and has the eldest CPU cooler I have seen in my life but my family has no knowledge of computer science so they purchase it.
It really was 8 years ago, this PC is old and so am I. These parts of it is very outdated and not applicable to use in the PC nowadays.

| cooler |
This cooler is right underneath the CPU so I cannot take it out because it is too heavy..
I have no idea on what diagnosis I have to run to know each component's capabilities but I know this cooler won't do much but it weights much.
The cooler has heat sink features so this delivers weights than efficiency..

these parts are no longer operable but their legacy still lives on. Those parts are the key parts in order to start a PC because they are the responsible for PC to work without the components there will be no outputs and inputs will be implemented. The tower is still intact but the opener of the tower is broken because it has applied to much force so the handle breaks. Without the handle it would be impossible to open the tower.
This random tool I have found will do the trick to open the tower but the force will be greater so I have to be careful to open the tower but it is now okay the process has been finished...
The rekindle of nostalgia
This Desktop never fails me to take me to years ago. Although the tower is recent but the monitor is very old. Still they create beautiful nostalgia for me. I'm glad that I rediscover something instead of taking adventures that involves money.
Although I have missed to take a picture of a HDD but it is 2006 model so it is long time ago to be manufactured. a 3.5 HDD has some files in it so I will be finding a way to retrieve it..
Conclusion
This blog post is special this is why I posted this instead of facebook because no one would appreciate being me in the other toxic platforms in the society so that's why I have my own.. And I feel free than to be condemned.
