Just shat my pants!
:!: :!: :!: Just turned my pc on and there was a bang and a flash which came from the back of my pc!!!!! The £45-50 power supply from pc world just popped! Luckerly all is good! Only the power supply went aeverything else seems fine, Ive got it running on my old power supply! Im so glad my pc's alright! :oops:

know the feeling. One chirstmas just got a new game (this was in the good old 486 days) and i was about to start playing a sudden flash and bang. My monitor smoking and it even colored the walls black... So much for my chirstmas. had to wait till the stores were open to get a new one... Once my power supply decided that it was all over, no matter how hard i tried to switch it on it wouldn't do shite! I locateded that it was actually the I/0 button that was broken so opened my power and rewired it =) Luckily it worked for a year or so... If something had happened i'm not sure what the insurance company would've said.. lol

Years ago, back in the day I had a problem with a noisy fan on my AMD K5 75MHz so I grabbed my swiss army knife and stuck the blade through the vent just to catch the fan and stop it. Unfortunately I pushed it in to far and generated a nice lightning bolt. Luckily I wasnt touching the metal bit :lol: Heres a pic from the archives (approx 8 years ago)

It gets better... a few weeks later I knocked the PC off the desk. A few weeks after that the monster 1.2Gb HDD had a headcrash. Took it apart and the heads had scratched the upper platter. Had a 210Mb drive to fall back on though. Ah the good old days :lol:
