Well i was playing around earlier with various bits of computers i seem to have aquired, and i put bits together and it sort of looked like it might turn on.

for the record i am seriously seriously shit at things involving making pcs go vroom

So yeh anyway, i plugged in ram and things, and a couple of HD's, and a soundcard and blah blah blah.

Then the little PSU thing set on fire.

And so ends my incursion into techy stuff.

Just to brag, i'm in the same boat as the guy from somewhere freaking cold, i think.

Edited after being informed as to how completely and utterly wrong i was, seriously you couldn't really have been more wrong than me.

Ah yes, i shall take pics when i return to my mums.

It doesn't look as dramatic as i described, it wasn't an inferno, just a bang then lots of smoke.

I'll also pull all the componants out, and you techy guys can laugh at me saying "dat wndt wrk n00b" "ha nice gfx lololol" and so-forth.

that's hilarious! sorry for the loss though.

i've built...maybe 8 computers, to be 9 soon, and they're all fine. should have asked for help from the Tech section!

Ahh men don't get anywhere by asking for stuff.

It takes blood, sweat, tears and a toasted PSU.

Thats the spirit.
The first time I took apart a PC I also blew up a PSU as well. I was 8 back then

It's a good idea to not be drunk when working with fragile electronics

to be fair, i was recovering.

I possibly should have put the lead in, then flicked the power at the wall.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Thats nothing. We brought in a contractor to do some work on our servers, the fagot left all the doors and cabinets wide open on a hot day! What happened? One by one the servers did a tharmal shut down, oh the fun we had that day!
And when we asked him why he did it he replyed "I was cold" ROFL.
