LOL< well here's one:

My old neighboor knew a guy who was a Tech (Surprise!!) that would wear your stereotypical "White-Collar" Shirt with a Pocket over the lft side and a Pen "Clipped" onot it. He was working on a PC one day (This was back in the 386/486 Era) and had his pen dangling as usual, he also had his static fingerband and the like on him.

The guy went to instal his soundcard, remeber Motherbvoards were straight down in these days when his open feel, he saw a blue "spark" and well, thatwas the end f his new rig.

I can safely say I have a buddy who heard his HSF go out and he shut down ASAP, because he could hear ther problem he was able to avet a potential explosion, but it was stil a close-call, hwe replaced the HS and did some major maintence but it's all good now.

I might upgrade this machine after I build a new one, the first thing I'm thinking of is "Moving" it froma Steel case to an Aluminum one so it doesn't get so darn hot, then I'll go form there.
