My Test box. It had an old 220 watt PSU, 5gb HDD, 500mHz AMD K6-II CPU. 48x CD-ROM and a 15" Dell with a 16mb PCI card and 128mb, It ran a pirated 98se. It now no longer exists. Since I run it on a workbench inside my garage with the door open, all my neighbors can see it. Well earlier today I flipped the breaker for the garage accidentaly, the computer has no surge protector. When I flipped the breaker, it surged the comptuer making the PSU explode, in turn lighting the whole computer on fire. Imagine the surprise of getting a call from a neighbor telling me the computer in my garage is spewing flames. I doused it in flame retardant then unplugged it. Nothing was salvageable. Ah well, no big loss, It held about 4gb's of porn, and I had pulled it out of a trash can anyways.
