Hacking?  Haha, no.  "Hunt-and-pecking out their psychology reports."

Three Fans for hard drives under the SCSI, 
Seven for expansion cards in their PCI home, 
Nine for graphics cards doomed to die, 
One for the CPU on its dark throne, 
On the motherboard where the shadows lie. 
One Fan to cool them all, One Fan to bind them, 
One Fan to keep them all and in the darkness fry them, 
In the land of motherboards where the shadows lie.
