The proper way to have said that would have been:

I don't think this thread was meant for bragging.

And I wasn't bragging, I was just making a suggestive comment. :sneaky:

"Warning" ...Mac :fanboy: ..above!

Ah, I've never seen a PC explode, but if this one gets much worse *shaks fist at alienware*, I may have to overclock EVERYTHING I can in it (After all the data is moved to a beter machine at least) as much as possible until it burns up in a balze of glory, which I will record onto a DV camcorder, and publish as streamin vide beofre I junk the POS. It's been anice three years but it may be time to let this thing die, I'll keep the monior and whatnot, but the PC itself is gonna die, not sure what form of "Death Sentance' i'll use, be it magnetism, orhigh-volag but I think overclocking and playing the most Graphics intensive gam for 20 mintues is a nice way to go out, sorrya bou your PC surfin4life, but I almost wish it'd happen to this machine at times, oh well, the PSU nearly did die in here but w found the problem.

Never seena PC wexplode msyelf but I kno people who have, I'm just unlucky as far as watching computers going up in smoke is concened, I'd like to see someone fr out a motherboard and salaveg the rest of the machine, but wih all the prolems Alienware as given me, the machine has yet to explode, strange because I was pretty sure it'd have happend by now, kinda like CamFu when he's curious about the gernade stockpile in Germany.

Speaking of Cam, he saeemsto like blwoin' stuff up, I wonde if he's destoryed a PC yet, maybe I'll "Donat" this one to him someday if he ever gets back to GT.

I suggest you wait for doomIII to come out, that way you'll let your pc go with glory and a hell of a lot of zombies :D

i burned my ps1 once...i was in another country and i forgot to plug it in to the right transformer socket and right wen i turned on my ps1 i smelled smoke so i opened it up and smoke poured rigth out it was the funniest thing LOL. Thta resulted into me getting a new ps1 also the game in it wasnt fried so ^_^

school computers always suck
 

The iMac's at my school suck, but the PC's are worse.... in part b/c the school is stupid... the PC's were slow before when they had Windows 95 on them.... so some idiot said "I know... lets put windows 98 on and make them even slower"... heh, they can't even handle four browser windows open at the same time

Re: school computers always suck
 

my comp can't either... I own a piece of **** =|

As for damage... I know a guy who was using his computer with the case off (bad idea) amd eating a bowl of cheerios w/ milk while using his computer (I bet you can guess what happened) ...well... AGP slots really do not like milk

LOL< well here's one:

My old neighboor knew a guy who was a Tech (Surprise!!) that would wear your stereotypical "White-Collar" Shirt with a Pocket over the lft side and a Pen "Clipped" onot it. He was working on a PC one day (This was back in the 386/486 Era) and had his pen dangling as usual, he also had his static fingerband and the like on him.

The guy went to instal his soundcard, remeber Motherbvoards were straight down in these days when his open feel, he saw a blue "spark" and well, thatwas the end f his new rig.

I can safely say I have a buddy who heard his HSF go out and he shut down ASAP, because he could hear ther problem he was able to avet a potential explosion, but it was stil a close-call, hwe replaced the HS and did some major maintence but it's all good now.

I might upgrade this machine after I build a new one, the first thing I'm thinking of is "Moving" it froma Steel case to an Aluminum one so it doesn't get so darn hot, then I'll go form there.
