Plugged a notebook charger (a 19v one) in my external hdd (12v), hdd instadead...

It got worse when i tried to plug it in a high-end completely watercooled rig of a friend of mine to test it (~€1500 rig), a flame of ~15cm shot out of the hdd °_° But the rig was unharmed.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

My dad and I built my old rig on a carpet. Along with that, I refused to buy a case so I reused this crappy random case. Didn't even have a name or anything on it. It even had a floppy disk slot... Needless to say, the cables were everywhere. Either way I was a happy person back then. Glad it worked though. I gave it to my brother after his computer broke down, used this craptop for a bit then finally built my new rig C:

 

If you wanted the specs of my old computer, get ready to cringe:

 

Intel i3-2100

Gigabyte H61M-DS2

Corsair CX600W PSU (No idea)

2X4GB Mushkin Silverline 1333MHz Memory (No idea)

Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 500GB 3.5" HDD

 

I know... 600 watts and no GPU?! Integrated graphics and SUCH SLOW RAM?! I hate my old 13 year old self.

 

Glad I finally got some sense into me though.

 

After I gave it to my brother, he put in a Radeon 7770 GHz Edition and changed the case.

I'm sure you'd hate something your 10 year old self or 7 year old self did; we all do.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

Yup. Left my Gameboy Color on a bench... I think you can tell what happened next.

Well that wasn't exactly my point...

Two faulty amd asus boards so far, one doa. 4 asus intel boards including a sabertooth died. Also one gt 640 and one 7750 broke due to overheating as the heatsinks were not on proper

Holy moley!!! That's super unlucky. I've never had a problem with Asus in my life. Except for my graphics card, which the cooler sucks. But no failures

I care more about aesthetics which would explain my whole upgrade everything but my CPU and GPU deal right now. Meanwhile still running stock intel cooler, how the hell did that happen?

I gave Riot Games my money. Biggest regret of my life, those scumbags deserve nothing.

 

Also I still buy consoles and console games. I don't see any JRPGs on PC, or am I just going blind?

Git Gud.
