I hear AOL 9.0 is so smart it can even fix your Window O/S problems!

Well, that's what the commercial said....

Too funny!

Having gone through a few barebones upgrades myself I know that plyers and a metal file can be usefull when overlooking the dimensions of MB and the placement of cards.

But cutting away the metal of the case.... and creative placement by duct tape .....

Hmm, I can understand how some of those would happen...for instance, the AoL thingy. Probably some old folk who had a computer that came with AoL for free. Perhaps they had the CD in the drive and didn't know it was able to come out or take it out. Or perhaps the first time they saw how to connect to the internet was when they saw the Aol stuff installed, and figured that's how one always hooks up to the internet. So each time they wanted to connect, or booted up...Aol get's reinstalled again, and again, and again...

Come on, I'm certain you all know someone old (grandparent or great grandparent) that has done some interesting things with thier computers.

On the otherhand, I'm certain those will little kids might be able to understand the other half of the pictures...

Still...

The most ridiculous one I've read was about someone who was going to modify their computer into a liqued cooled system. This involved caulking every external hole to create a... water tight case... and filling that same case with tap water.

I can't make up my mind whether the victom was pulling the forums leg or not but they got pretty peaved with the lack of sympathy for their destroyed computer. It was laughable when at the dramatic moment he called his wife in to witness the new, totaly silent, computer upon first boot.

"What the hey"?

Perhaps it's all fiction but you know somewhere out there that would make sense to someone.

funniest thing is, that if you did it will distilled, de-ionized water, it would work until an ionization of the water occured.

water does not conduct electricity. The materials in water (salt) will.

Well, I suppose if you used a non-contucting liquid, like mineral oil, or (I think) anti-freeze, it'd work.

Hmmm.... although you still have an issue with bleeding off heat. Maybe add a radiator on the back of your computer, along with a small pump?
