I see this image of the card killer laying and pawing at the dead card in a uncaring manner

Yeah, I had just put everything in my new case (Tt mozart) and was pretty happy with how everything turned out. Plugged everything in and fired up the computer. On the Mozart the PCI brackets are held in place by some plastic clips (retarded idea!). Well, not even five minutes had gone when the computer suddenly rebooted and everything went black. Looking down I see my 5 month old kitten standing on her hind legs pushing towards the PCI brackets and the one above the gfx card was missing. It fell down on my Hd 3870 and shorted it out! If the brackets had been tightened down by screws my cat could never have been able to push it out of place. Not much to do but send it back and put in one of my old cheap ass GeForce 7300 or whatever. Its the cat in my avatar btw (I have four)
