Onto a slightly less offensive note, just dodged a bullet somewhat.
So like two days ago our basement flooded a little bit and the edges of all the carpets down here was wet, a good one-foot border all around. So today we finally got around to moving all the junk around so the carpets could dry in the back yard. After moving the computer I tried to turn it on to reveal to you guys this event.
The power light blinked and died. I tried this several time,s each time the light blinking fewer and fewer times. Alright, sounds like the power supply died. Crap. So I disconnect everything and take the thing out so I can test it. It turned on a fan just fine, so I was a little perplexed. I connected it to the Motherboard and turned it on. The power supply didn't turn on.
At this point I started to freak out at the prospect of the motherboard dying as that doesn't come cheap. It was also at this point that my dad became interested because he studied computer engineering a little bit before. So he came down and started a five minute talk on computer safety that I was quite clearly following right there in front of him. After that he was actually rather good about things, listening to what I was saying and providing valid assistance. So we hooked up the motherboard again and tested it out.
It worked flawlessly. Everything was fully functional. I guess a cable was loose or something(Which I'm dubious about, those cables were hard to remove), and now everything works and I'm relieved that I don't need to buy a new power supply or motherboard.
Yeah man, I hate moving anything with a lot of parts in it. Something gives.
Sick ass, going to my Dad's this weekend and I hear word of fishing. I'll take pictures of the house this time.
