Build a computer

I reversed engineered a computer my buddy gave me to become familiar with how components went together. He told me some of the things that were wrong with it only to find out that the things he said were wrong with it were fine and the things that were fine were not working. Anyway, I haven’t built a computer, per se, but have rather done pretty much a complete overhaul to the computer I have had for several years now. I know I should just scrap the sucker, but I am frugal with what I have and do not believe I need to deem it unuseable yet. The only problem is that when I run anything graphically intensive, my computer runs extremely hot. I found, much to my chagrin, that there are no exhaust fans for my case. I don’t know how this fact never dawned on me, but it was very displeasing to find out, nonetheless. Anyway, I tried to pull over the fan board from the comuter case my friend gave me, but to no avail, the fan board doesn’t work (and yes I supplied it through the PSU). Anyway, I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and ghetto fan the case while it’s open until I decide it is worth upgrading (I’m thinking of building a micro ATX computer because I am a person who very much agrees with progess towards efficiency rather than the Machiavelli approach to more power. That was much longer than I anticipated in writing. Sorry if I bored anyone. Later.
