sparkage

Mar 02, 2010 look... no hands link
Well my power supply took a shit on me today. Damn thing went off like a welding machine, sparking internally until i unplugged it. Took out my hdd too. Still working on setting up the new drive. Thats twice ive lost other hardware to thermal take psu's dieing in less than two years now. Guess I'm not buying any more of them ever again. Last time it was only memory, and patriot replaced that for me, This time my 6 page WGAF might really be gone, unless I can reconstitute it from memory.

Wow that sucks. Lucky you were there when it did, though... being addicted to a space MMO probably saved your house. That 10 dollars a month is way cheaper than insurance. lol

Ugh. 16 seconds was enough to make me really, really want to cut his fat lips right off his bloated face.

You're actually dead right, cause i did have right on top of the back of the case, several boxes of buckshot loads. While shot shells don't explode when you burn them, they do burn like hell.

It was quite likely less than a minute away from actually catching on fire. Between the couple boxes of shells there, and the booze, it would have been a roaring fire in moments if it were to start. Also close to the curtains.
