Kramer and other members promoting water cooling- you have alot to answer

true, we've all done stupid things, but this takes the cake....but don't worry. Look at it this way, you're famous...You may not realize it, but half of the computer enthuasist and overclocking community is linking to this thread right now...=)

And the other half is just being emailed about it.

I'm not sure if it is a wind up or not. I sincerely hope it is. I would be GUTTED if I had made a mistake like this. Having looked at the spec you had an awesome machine that is now nothing more than a doorstop.

My sympathy is with you.

Although it hurts right now (and will even more when the Mrs finds out), I only hope that one day you can look back and laugh about it.

got a camera? We want to see pics...=)

Why,....did you buy Comer's w/c comp.?

Comer, it's been a record, it must be. 3000 views and still going stong. I remind you in case you missed the 1st ones while you were talking calmly about your projector. The forum is desperately slow cos so many people are looking at this. Is it possible, having got your record, to put us out of our misery now, or will your wife do that for us?

I think that I'll have to check all if the IP's logged against my database to see who these people really are.

This is because Conor's dilema has spread far and wide, and we're rushing in from other forums to offer our condolences and help.

The cow suggestion is a good one, and environmentally friendly too. Please make sure that you lubricate the pipe before inserting it though.

On a serious note though, Conor, you really only have one chance to revive your PC now - extreme drying. You need to put it on a four plate stove or in an oven at a low light (gas mark 2) for at least four hours. PLease make sure your insurance covers this, and that you have a fire extinguisher handy - these things can on rare occasions go wrong.

After gentle baking for the preset time, allow the PC to cool in a well-ventilated area, and try it again.

If it still doesn't work, you may find that some of the smoke has leaked out of a few of the chips. You'll need to take it in to someone who can replce the smoke.

Just re-read Comer's initial post and my view has not changed; there is no PC, there was no water in this non-existant PC, someone is trying to turn our handles (but mine 'aint budging).

Agreed,but if this was a troll/wind-up it's taken Comer 200+ posts to get here and it's a little 'off' that he has named a forum member in the title of his thread.

[Ian J]

This has been a very amusing thread but the joke is now played out. I have asked Spectre to close it but moderators are like policemen and are never around when you need them.

I'm sure that we don't need any more people registering just to add to this thread and never to be seen again.

Kramer and comer are buddies I think you'll find, and kramer has been notable for his absence, presumably having hysterics...

more for entertainment than to offer condolances... and what help can anyone offer? he's screwed the proverbial pooch many hits will be from here and i would say that the ads are slowing the forums far more than the visitors...

Dude U dumped water in ur case!!!! NOOOOBODY uses water anymore LOL omg using water is sooo old school. What you need to use is gasoline! Ill tell you why we use gasoline.

1. Have you ever dumped gasoline on urself and felt how it made you skin real cold (due to evaporation). Well we take this concept and apply it to our pcs.

2. dosn't tend to pop the breaker in the PSU as offten (still might every 2~4 years).

3. It increases the case gas volume, allowing HDs to cylce at triliniar speeds!

Just seal up your case fill it with gasoline (89 OCT rateing), step way back and power her up (steping back is suggested due to intial fumes being toxic, but thats only for the first 5 min. of operation!)

I 'm just back from doing my preparation for my night calss which starts in about five minutes)

It would seem that my PC is well and truly finished

I find it amusing that most people here are trying to figure out if this is a windup or not. I wish that that was the sum of all my worries, as after this class is over in a couple of hours I have to go home and tell the wife about this. And if u think that u guys have made me feel stupid...u ain't met my wife


Cheers

Conor
