I was thinking manual lightning rod tester.

NO!

It's electrical. Just his presence will mean that the lightning will
malfunction.

Perhaps you should then read up on programmable chips.

Hello,

Lately every day I turn on my computer I fear another disaster and low and
behold today another tragedy:

It seems the X-Fi Elite Pro 7.1 soundblaster has died.

I opened the case and I noticed a little dust particle on metal pins of the
soundblaster PCB.

So it seems highly likely that the little dust particle caused a short
circuit, if so then pretty amazing that electrical people/designer think
it's no problem to let metal pins be unprotected ?!?

Even when I was a 13 year old kid did I know that would be a bad idea.

Anyway this makes me wonder if I should buy a laptop so it's closed, though
laptops nowadays have airflow/fans in em too... so doesn't change much.

I also tried changing windows 7 settings, msconfig seems to crash when
trying to set normal configuration, only selective configuration seems to
work.

I also tried "diagnostic configuration", this seemed to disable all services
which is dangerous.

Fortunately I could re-enable the services by chosing "enable all from
msconfig tool" and rebooting which brought back some services.

So I am starting to fear that leaving the dust filters out has now caused
the death of another component. This means little good for the antec 1200
case, with dust filters it overheats, without dust filters it might even be
worse and electronics fail because of dust.

Bad situation.

With the antec 1200, you usually clean the filters once a month. if you are
going 6 months to a year between washing out those filters, then no **** its
going to overheat.

Leave it to you to take one of the best designed cased to ever exist and
****itallup.

I've opened them up and there's an inch of yellowish-brown fluff over
everything. And they're working. What's it's doing is applying a
thermal blanket over everything, helping to wear down the atomic
micron-die pathways over the design life of chips.

If you are seeing yellowisgh brown stuff all over your components in your PC,
stop smoking!!!!!

Shoot straight you *******s! Don't make a mess of it.


Wooden shoes? Don't think so. Making wooden shoes requires craftsmanship
that's way beyond his capabilities. (As well as mines.)

You dead wrong about the antec 1200 case, it's a very bad case.

I have come to learn some lessons: if it's not a total system builder
then don't do bussiness with them, antec doesn't give a **** if your
electronics die.

There are 5 enemies for pc's:

1. dust
2. overheat
3. electric shock
4. physical shock
5. bugs

It shouldn't be to hard for you to figure out why antec 1200 is bad
based on the top 5 above.

Cleaning a PC on the inside is one thing which should not be
necessary, concerning the antec 1200 case here is a hint: bad
sectors !

You've been warned.

Skybuck.

As well as that, he's changed his id to get past all the filters. Had to
add his new id to my filter list and will add each and every new id he
creates. He'll get sick of creating new ids long before I get tired of
adding them to my filters.

I used to think no one could be as stupid as skytard. Now I'm not so
sure. He's setting a new low standard of idiocy.
