I want to apply 120Volts AC to my CPU for the 4th of July.

[Brian23]

how do I get the fireworks?

Why?

 

[Brian23]

why not?

I want to celebrate america by blowing up a small part of it.

 

[n7]

What CPU are you burning up?

I would rather see 140v connected to your nads.

Ditto, though there wouldn't be any bright flashes, just a brief shriek of pain, then nothing...

And not to forget the smell of cooked sausage.

I'd be awful careful with this plan, lest you mess up and instead apply said 120 volts to yourself...

Besides, you won't see much by way of fireworks. Just a god-awful smelling, smoking, melted mess. Not really all that exciting.

That is what I was thinking. There may be a few wisps of smoke and a horrible chemical burning smell, but that is all... No glow, bright flashes, bangs, nothing fun...

Well I've got nothing else to do with my 386SX

You could sell it on Ebay claiming it's a Pentium D Extreme Edition. Probably not too much difference

umm, what?



anyway, how about putting it in the microwave, or my absolute favorite: hook it up to a car battery with some jumper cables!!!

Wear goggles. Seriously.

Wire 120 to the +5 (3.3? heck do em both lol) on the mobo connector, other side of the 120 at any ground point.

Press the power switch from as far away as you can.

And post a vid, or at least pics. :-D

Except the 386 runs cooler.
