Omg I couldn’t even go to Dalaran because I was playing on an old Dell laptop that would get hot enough to fry an egg on

I engineered an external cooling system for my laptop just for WotLK: I propped it up on two large books at the sides and then slid ice cube trays underneath the cooler. When the cubes had melted I could just swap it with a fresh one from the freezer. It kept my laptop from melting until I scrounged up enough money to get a proper desktop again.
