It may be hard to believe today, but throughout its existence, humanity has created some robust things that are built to last. A gamer uses perhaps the most stubborn electronic device to support the graphics card in his PC case.

What device are we talking about? It’s the good old Nokia phone, which, in the 90s and early 2000s, it felt like almost everyone owned in some variant, to send SMS, make calls, or play Snake.
Some versions of the Nokia phone are so robust and battery-efficient that countless memes have emerged about the device over time. Here are a few examples (via google.com):
- A man finds a long-lost Nokia 3310 after 20 years, still has 70 percent battery.
- If you ever want to feel useless, remember there used to be a protective case for Nokia phones.
- Who will win: The Death Star or the Nokia 3310? Outcome uncertain.
- When a modern phone falls to the ground, the screen breaks. When a Nokia falls to the ground, the ground breaks.
Most important component of PC hardware: a Nokia
How is a Nokia phone now being used? The gamer bulochklem has showcased the inside of his PC on Reddit. Besides the somewhat chaotic cable mess, one detail immediately stands out: The graphics card is supported by a Nokia phone (apparently a Nokia 6124 Classic). But see for yourself:
The why and how is unclear. In further comments, the gamer only reveals that he pulled the case from the trash 20 years ago. He also likes the wild “nuclear war” setup. Therefore, he would only settle for dusting it off now and then.
A phone with aura
How does the community react? With great fun and many more Nokia meme sayings.
- DKligerSC writes on Reddit: “One thing’s for sure: Your graphics card will never dare to sag.”
- def_tom explains on Reddit: “This thing is still supported long after the dust of resource wars has settled.”
- Mister_Shrimp_The2nd jokes on Reddit: “I think you meant to say that your GPU is holding the Nokia just so that it doesn’t fly away due to the aura it radiates.”
When was the last time you held a Nokia phone? And how were your experiences with the device, do the memes hold true? Share it in the comments! If you’re looking for good MMORPGs for mobile, check them out here: The 10 best Mobile MMORPGs 2025 for iOS and Android
