rizzo Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 It caught fire 'cos of the astronomically high levels of intellectual discussion that takes place... Link to post Share on other sites
kliskey Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 lolz sounds cool did it really catch fire or were you trying to see what you could blow up with pyros or just plain shooting it with your gun? Is it badly hit? got and pics? Link to post Share on other sites

Marcus Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 lolz sounds cool did it really catch fire or were you trying to see what you could blow up with pyros or just plain shooting it with your gun? Is it badly hit? got and pics? Not actually sure what happened, I'm back in my native Sweden for a few weeks of vacation, but my NYC (where the server is) tech people tell me it literally caught on fire. I guess there was some sticky tape holding the cables together that got overheated or something, or perhaps the capacitors next to the CPU sockets exploded, it has happened to me before. M.

billymak Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'd like to see a capacitor explode whilst still inside a server... Them fluffy looking bits no doubt burn in seconds... How would a capacitor get so over charged in the first place? I blame face and all random users... ¬_¬ I remember back in my 6th form, we'd deliberately blow capacitors up just for kicks... It was pretty funny seeing brown fluffy stuff explode into the room after a loud bang... ahhh.... school... what a waste of dollah Link to post Share on other sites
Gene Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I happened to find a real video of what happened, so I gif'ed it and stuck it in my sig Link to post Share on other sites
lacroixpamplemousse Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Lol. Did the capacitor reminents short anything else in there, that is if the capacitor didn't trigger the PSU to catch or if it just stopped working? Its a real risk if it was still running. Goodluck finding a new mobo, was it a true server intel board? If so, sucks that it costs around $200... Link to post Share on other sites
