I don't remember the exact words, but it went something like:
I was installing a fan on my athlon processor and it cracked. when I turned the computer on flames shot out of the system, so I left it on and went and got a bucket of water and threw it on the computer. Then black smoke came out and the whole system died. The motherboard has char marks all over it and I'm going to see if I can RMA the processor and tell them it was defective.
LOL! I would kill to find the link to that old thread.
