can i take the hdd of an old computer, put it in a different one and boot off it?
I use my extra laptop for guests. If they fuck it up who cares...they aren't touching mine.
I pulled the no-name brand power supply out of one and use it to test shit before it goes in a new rig. Most of the time that just involves jumpering it to start it and making sure the fans (especially CPU fans) run. It will also see use if I ever get around to a liquid cooling build, running the pump while I fill the system.
ABSOLUTLY NOTHIN'!
