Umm, no! I build my own. You point is moot, not mute!! Get it right!

Those crazy Inquirer readers.....

I have blown up lots of stuff. I am good at that.

I did see a PSU actually shoot sparks out of the back and die with a loud pop and lots of stinky smoke. Powmax 500 watt as I recall and it was in an AXP machine that "may" have pulled 300 watts full load.

Still though after the pop and the sparks and smoke there was no fire. Granted I pulled the plug on that hummer but still.

I believe you DID say it's a fake since the Opposite of "Isn't known for posting facts" is the truth, which would make the Inquirer and this story all lies. AGAIN, I challange ANYONE here to prove to me that this story is STAGED or FAKED or didn't really happen as reported by the Inquirer.
/ Thats what I thought !!

I challenge you to find another main stream news source with the same information.

My statement as to they aren't known for posting facts in no way confirms that I said it was fake.

Now can anyone explain to me why it doesn't seem real to have a fire in a computer?

I actually am shocked you don't see more of these kinds of things happening than you do.

This is the biggest reason I oppose leaving a machine on 24/7

Inquiring minds want to know!

MAC Laptop Explodes

Geek Disappears


Compaq

Cell Phones

It's funny that the only "news" sources that picked up on it were the Inquirer and the Register. Must be some conspiracy between DELL and the major news networks!!

[~Candy~]

Thanks Rockn, but I still want to see one on the Japan incident That Compaq one wasn't a tragedy

. . . "Come on now, the Inquirer isn't known for posting facts " . .

So next you are going to tell me that Bill Clinton is not an alien from outer space and that Elvis is not alive and well? . . I AM SHOCKED ! !

[~Candy~]

Do you have supporting documentation for those facts?

[Rockn]

Monica's dress!! We can test for alien DNA!! Like I said Candy, the only souces that even have the "incident" posted are the Inquirer and the Register. I am waiting for a reliable source like the Tattler to post the story, then I will believe it as fact.

[~Candy~]

Oh, and I just noticed, thanks for the sig edit

That "SHOULD" be adequate

[Rockn]

No problem!! I would have put a 10 point divider between it, but the editor wouldn't let me enter one...

[~Candy~]

Thank God for that

That Acapulco lady is tough! !
