Blood

[BooYoung]

I was dusting around the back of my PC, where everything plugs into the surge protector. I finished up, turned on the PC & power strip, and started typing away when I looked down and noticed that I had somehow cut my hand while working in behind the PC. I turned it off for a few minutes, wiped everything down with a dry cloth, and turned it back on.

Do you think I could have caused some damage to the PC (short?) If it was going to short out, it would have shorted out by now, right?

No.

I'm just waiting for the post where he asks if farting near his computer might short it out.

We all have to start somewhere...If you don't ask, you may never know

At least he didn't sneeze all over it...

Vacuuming out keyboard/mouse?
Regular pliers to tighten standoffs?
Tried to plug in a USB keyboard into an eSATA port...
Power supply failed, damaged HDs?
Glitter/sparkles and PC
Damp hands while connecting up computer

Same thing happened to me...no damage so far.

Thinking of an ancient right where there is a blessing invloved sacrificing a goat and sprinking new PC with blood for good luck.

Dammit, I was just about to do that search and post it!

OP, please, chill out and enjoy your computer.
