Damn, I wish I could have got some pics, but no camera here right now...I was thinking of taking it apart and checking out the inside later to see how fried it is. I'll see if I can round up a camera.

fortunately for him, he went on vacation the next day so he didnt have time to play with his computer.
we pulled out of the closet a clunking 15 incher for him.

hes going to be so ecstatic when he comes back to work on monday.

the first time we asked him if he tried to overclock his 17" into a 21"
