  • I used to do a lot of building, modding, overclocking, etc. I can’t tell you why, but I always associated the motherboard as “the computer.” If I replace the CPU, RAM, cards, cooling, drives, case, etc it’s the same computer. And if a take a mobo out and put it in another chassis, that’s now “the computer” or, at that point, “the old computer.”

    I had one 3/4 tower case that lasted me from 486sx, all the way to Pentium 3 and I still miss it, but I wouldn’t say it was the same computer. The same case sat next to Moss’s desk on The IT Crowd, and I’d get a little nostalgic seeing it.
