If you still got one of those, you should be getting something to remove the yellowing from you, not the computer.

That was incredibly uncalled for.

I just wanted to share something useful to all those people that collect pieces of computer history, and this is the best you have to say.

Shame on you :non:

Well, i believe that not all tomshardware forum users are bellow 20 years old and some of us still own a computer or game console (for example a Snes or even a Dreamcast) that was part of our past and has a special place in our heart.

This technique can also be used on recent hardware that got yellowed due to sun exposure etc.

I always characterized the yellowing as 'character' and patina.

I've had my case for 10+ years and I'm going to build a i7-2600 system in it. Why? Because I have it already, it works, and its a solid case!

Yeah still, i feel that the times have changed and so have the tomshardware community...

"If you still got one of those, you should be getting something to remove the yellowing from you, not the computer." Sheesh!

Yes i know that not all users are rude and childish like this one but this isn't a enthusiastic site on both ways of the tecnhological timeline anymore!
