Eliminate the accessories of Computers to find the most important component.

- Video Card
- Sound Card
- Network Card
- PCI slot coolers
- Having more than one Intake and one Exhaust fan (Power Supply fans do not count)
- RAM heatspreaders (stock or otherwise)
- 3rd party cooling (anything you buy to replace stock cooling on a component, example
- Hard Drive
- Floppy Drive
- any Disc Drive (Blu-ray, DVD-ROM, CD-RW drives, etc)
- USB thumb drives
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- Monitor
- Speakers
- Printers, Scanners, and the like (not including obviously stupid shit like USB coffee makers)
- USB coffee makers *I seriously think Zek moved this from the above entry and put it here :)* (Zek says: <3) (hat says: Now I know you put it there :p, lets be fair now namslas90 eliminated this)
feel free to make suggestions for me to add to this list

**RULES: Everyone may eliminate ONE of the objects in this list per day

I'll start by eliminating PCI slot coolers
 
USB Thumb Drive
 
I'll toss the Sound card........ Not a must..
 
If you're eliminating sound card then I eliminate:
Speakers
 
I'm eliminating the floppy drive, I don't think the majority of us plan on flashing our VGA BIOS.
 
im going to have to say thumb drives. a cd/dvd burner can do the same thing, and it can also read dvd's and cd's
 
Personally, I'd keep the speakers/sound and eliminate the fans, but that's because I love music and actual noise while I'm playing video games.
 
Heatspreaders on the RAM. I don't see them doing anything.
 
thanks zek for keeping my list clean :D
Also it seems I set a bad example and steered this competition among the PC parts exactly the way I didn't want it to go, but it makes room for another competition :(
 
"Most Unimportant"; you all missed this one;
USB coffee makers
 
I put USB coffeemakers in there, but when Zek was updating my list, me must have ate it. Bad zek :p
oh, zek moved it. I will eliminate it.

I'm debating whether or not to veto the decision with my edit button, I don't know what I'd do without my USB coffee maker, or USB hamster wheel, or USB cigarette lighter.... :p.
 
That's not on the list :) Be specific
 
I have a feeling I won't get to see my second turn at 6PM tomorrow
 
Why'd you eliminate the USB toys, I like my USB cupholder....


oh wait that's the DVD burner.
 
Now network cards...
 
... there goes my Internet, my motherboard has no onboard LAN :(
 
NO!!!!!!. no coffee ? thats mess up
 
Yes you get coffee just don't get it from the USB coffee maker, it's an overall retarded idea
 
scratch the extra fans, don't need em.

if your computer is a portable heater then you need to remove the sidecovers.


and while your at it scrap the case too i see many puters just spread out on table.
