The Day My PC Died....

[sputnik found]

hey all,

bad day today, anyone who knows me, knows i spend all of my money into my pc . Anyway, got to boot the pc up today, to find it would on stay on for a couple of seconds. so, i swapped power cables, and it still happened, so i thought.. just looked though my window in the side of my pc and saw no heatshink on my cpu! ... my cpu had fried..... just when i wanted to do some college work over the weekend, so i could hand it in on time for next week.

Anyway, told my parents, and they said that they could lend me the money to get the nessanery pc bits...

so this is what i got....




more pics of it running, and benchmarking ect on tuesday.

I had the heatshink on for ages.....

i don't really know how the heatshink came off.... i think it was a combination of moving the case around and it be a big ass heatshink.
