i went in there today(a local mom and pop type joint) to pick up a couple of 120mm fans...as i was leaving he proceeds to tell me to be careful with them...i presumed he was talking about me catching my fingers or something in the fan and replied "don't worry, i'll try to keep my fingers outta there"
he responds, "no i was talking about static electricity."
so i told him i leave my case grounded to the wall outlet when i work on it, but thanks for the tip anyway
he says, "no static buildup from all those fans"
so i look at him like a he's a retard and he continues on about how "all the time these people go trying to improve airflow through their case and the air creates static electricity when rubbing against stuff and fries components"
so i ask him how he can tell they've been fried by static buildup and he replies "oh, the burn marks look different." very matter of factly
then proceeds to tell me that he recommends a fan controller because you can vary the airflow in your case everyday and help prevent static buildup... "it really helps, after i install these fanbus' in people's system they don't have any problems as long as they remember to change the fan speeds every day."
it was all i could do to get out of there without laughing in his face :laugh:
another time he told me they handle MCSEing and MCSAing 😀 i didnt have the heart to correct him
he responds, "no i was talking about static electricity."
