rant
Well, I was a little pissed tonight, I bought splinter cell pandora tommorow for a very nice price of 15, I got it installed, but when I would try to run it, it would say to put the play disk in. I had this problem with farcry recently. So I was getting pretty pissed, trying different things. I was testing my parents dvd drive and cd-rw drive, and both didnt work, So I was getting pretty ticked (bc i knew it was windows at that time). So i was frustrated and gettin pissed even more bc a molex connector was stuck in the back of the cd-drive i tried. So I was yanking at it, and when It came out, I hit the side panel which was laying flat on the table, and it came off the table right on the top of my foot. OMG I havent felt that much pain in a LONG time. It put a dent into my foot, literally. Its blue & black right now, with a nice divot about an inch long. So that was my first experience with my case bitting back. :-(

Also tonight, I've reinstalled windows hoping to get this to work! ughhhhh got a full reinstall and service packs done in 2 hrs (all service packs were downloaded).

Just thought I would share my crazy experience tonight. OOhHh and to top it off, I got pissed at bestbuy earlier today, because I was going to drive to greenwood (about 35-40mins away) to pick up an ipod (b-day prez). So I called them to make sure they had everything in stock, and i waited 15 mins on hold. Tried again 30 mins later, same thing. ughhh not a good day.

I got nicked by a Radeon 7000 in the A+ Class I intern for the same way. Fussie little molex connector wouldn't budge so I pulled hard and my hand flew back and I left some skin behind on the card.

yup ive cut my self alot on chaep cases with sharp eges.ive left alot of blood behind in cases,my hands are very scared up also.

i always wear gloves when i try and push/pull at things really hard. ive gotten 5 stitches on my hand because i was cut by a case

lol.. i was cut by an old packerdbell legend mobo.. with 75mhz processor.. needed stiches but i did not get them.. i well.. just put a bandade on it realy thight

i use duct tape or elctric tape sometimes to secure my wounds.

Try crazy glue! It was made for sealing wounds in battle. Don't use the no-stick-to-skin stuff though, it won't work.

Thats happend to me before with cd drives found out my cd drive stoped reading the cd so i had to get a new one. Ive had reinstall windows after formatting i got a windows upgrade so i have to install windows 2000 and then put windows xp proffessional then the upgrades but that took my computer 1/2 of a hour to do it.

3mm stell gauntlets do the trick nicely

i sliced my finger the other day taking a pci blanking plate looks like my case drew first blood but me & my dremel will have the last laugh

rofl. Thank god I havnt had a major injury with my case


PS. Antec cases are smoooooth

my chieftec doen't have a single sharp edge.
however my dad when building his had 12 cuts!!!!

My Chieftec side panel has sharp edges inside, where it slots onto rails to close or whatever. I got a nasty cut from that once I think it's usually the fans that get me, because I keep forgetting they're on!

I stood on a soldering iron not long ago, that kinda hurt! Left a nice sorta.. inflated.. imprint.. kinda thing.. in the shape of the tip of the soldering iron

I think the last stupid thing I have done is grabbed a cold cathode while it was on, not the plastic casing... the actual cathode. I didn't know how they worked and didn't see the very thin wire going all the way down it! Came as quite a shock, literally!

i picked up a soldering iron by the wrong end once, and it melted a line accross my palm and two fingers.

lol yeah that's what happened to my foot. It took about a week for it to disappear It was really annoying walking because I could feel the inflamed lumpy bit it left

it was rather annoying when it happed to me as it was year 9 sat's season, and i could hardly hold a pen

that's pretty good timing you should have demanded a laptop! ..... or scribbled with your other hand in some language that roughly represents..... hebrew

it did kinda look like that...


laptop? norfolk cc eduaction dept =/= laptop or any kind of technology

good point! We had some laptops come in at our college after I had left, for people with broken arms and stuff so they could still work. Everything always happens after I leave though

When I left middle school they had a whole new network with lots of decent computers, for the time, put in. When I left high school they put fibre...fiber...optics all over the place and had all their computers upgraded too! poo is all I can say

University has lots of dells..... they have a sparc or alpha or soemthing sitting about somewhere that people are free to use.... I think.... maybe

Chit, I better make sure my medical insurance is up to date. I'm doing my first build this weekend. That duct tape on a wound is an old Vietnam trick. Do you know what superglue was first used for? Closing up wounds on the battlefield temporarily.

You know what really cut your self is on those high RPM fans like the venos 12 that goes 5500 RPM or my hard drive cooler it uses a turben fan and has very sharp fan blades out of metal take a peice out of your finger.

i think uea has three sparcs and l bunch of macs for video
