Good lord that's both tremendously hilarious and sad at the same time. Best onE was, "We are thinking that this was dropped out of the UPS cargo jet"

I have to admit when I built my first PC I had no clue how to apply thermal compound.

Someone told me I needed it, so I got it. Of course there were no directions.

So I used the whole tube.

Hehe. I think I have seen some of them before. Aren't some of them from jonnyGuru? Didn't he used to post rants about his customers all the time? He had a site about most of the crazy stuff his customers did.

It worked fine. It was a Cyrix PR166+, I ran it clocked like a 200+.

It never complained.

That is some old stuff but still funny. On a side note I have seen some of the dead equipment on that site in person.

Those are jonnyGuru's. He used to have the pics hosted on his own site but moved them off.

Why not link to the main page? He moved them because the guy who had been hosting them for a long time decided out of the blue that he wanted to charge jonnyGURU for the hosting.
