In the age of slick unibody aluminum slabs inset with a thin black mirror, in the age of fanless battery powered devices that last 10+ hours on a charge... people have forgotten the sound and smell of computing in the bygone age of the LAN party. The heat of too many CRT screens in a room, of pentiums whirring away, their clacking harddrives and big PSUs filling the room with all sorts of olfactory detritus... the smell of nearly burnt dust being passed over and over again through a gauntlet of hot electronics... the sound and the physicality of powering up a room full of workstations. And I'm not even talking about the humans using the machines.
