I plugged everything in, turned on the power supply and dimmed the lights. With a great hesitation I turned on the computer by hitting it's power button. It worked! My tubes were solid blue, my UV lights electrified my DFI Lanparty Expert, and nothing but a stealthy silent flow of water sounded in the dark. My NEC powered on with my ViewSonic and the "Lanparty" logo appeared. I was at the helm of a complete system ready for hours of intense gaming, crazy overclocks, great temperatures, and silent operation. The Windows loading screen appeared followed by my desktop. As I began to move the mouse I was just about to open up my ITE SmartGuardian to look at temps along with my ATI Tool when....
:explode:
......my screen went crazy.
Suddenly I began to hear a quiet hissing from in between my chipset cooler and one of my most prized possesions--my X1900XTX. Quickly I turned off the ultra-violet monster that was beginning to sound like a snake, but it was too late. My video card is......*cry*........broken.
I broke my first piece of hardware...............
My guess is there must have been a small trace of water still on the video card's pcb that hadn't evaporated yet.
I feel sick.............like I just lost a child.................
