Just had my first exploding computer

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Just had my first exploding computer

Terrible excitement.

I turned on my internet PC and instantly noted that it was making a funny noise whilst it was booting - sort of a screeching. It was alarming enough for me to decide to hold the power button in, to turn it off, whilst it was booting.

Anyway - this is the exciting part - about 5 seconds after I turned it off, it exploded.

Chuffing exploded.

It was turned off - yet it still exploded.

Isn't that exciting? I wasn't expecting that. I was just about to crawl under the desk to take a look at it. I'd never have thought it would Large itself.

Nasty smell to it - all sort of burnt electrical smell.

I wish I had videoed it.
