No prob Seig, I haven't been around myself. About a week or two ago my motherboard met an untimely demise. I just finally got a new one and my PC is up and running again. But here's something to make you laugh:
My motherboard met an untimely demise to a pair of... *plays dramatic music, view zooms in on his face, a serious expression* Underwear! Dun-dun-dunnnn! *kills the fx*
Last week I purchased a new video card to up my performance for FFXIV. Since I had to open up the computer I figured I'd just go ahead and apply new paste to the processor as well. As I was trying to clean off some excess paste I used a pair of old drawers I was gonna toss out. Well, some of the fabric got caught the tiny prongs that the processor sits on. Needless to say it wasn't pretty. So... yea...
Motherboards have been taken down by power surges, overclocking woes, spilling things on them, etc... But I think mine has to be the first to be taken down by a pair of undies. It's so stupid and idiotic but so funny at the same time. I can safely say this IS an event I'll someday look back on and laugh.
EDIT: By the way, sorry for hi-jacking your thread. I thought you could use a good laugh after all your stressing.
