Just thought y'all might want to know that. Pretty colors... then utter darkness.

You're lucky you didn't stick it in too far and gotten electrocuted, that would be very bad.

See my PSU thread from ~1wk ago.

Plug in...*spark**pop**flash*...<smoke>...dead HD.

[SunnyD]

Two words that go together well...

DUMB and ASS

 

[Toasthead]

[tami]

keep in mind that the charge in a PSU capacitor can be fatal.

 

[MX2]

Wow...I am sure glad you told me that. :roll:

 

[LeiZaK]
