Yep... between tweaking n00bs and experts... come another category... slammin' those po' suckas who's rig just went to that big manufacturer in the sky.

TOP TEN BAD THINGS TO SAY TO SOMEONE WITH A DEAD COMPUTER:

1. "We'll hold a seance for your rig... maybe we can get a psychic to talk to your hard-drive and explain why you're a dumb-ass for not backing up!"

2. "Cool... I was going to get you a paperweight for Christmas, but it looks like ya already got one!"

3. "Well, sucks to be you, but the shower of sparks was actually kind of cool looking and your expression was priceless... I wish I had a camera! "

4. "Dibs on the video card!!!!!!" (scream this FIRST thing it the computer refuses to boot)

5. "Ya know... if you were to paint it, I'm fairly sure it'd make a nice end-table... 'cause it ain't gonna do crap as a computer!"

6. "COOL! Do it again, do it again! I think you tripped the breaker when that thing exploded... hold on, I'll go turn it back on!"

7. "Oh bloody hell... what have you done THIS TIME?"

8. "Gee Scotty... got a meltdown in the reactor core?"

9. "Well... that's gonna cost ya. Poor bastard...."

10. "I told you this would happen if you kept doing THAT. I thought the diminished vision and furry palms were indicators... but Nooooooo, you just HAD to keep doing it!"

ROFL. #7 is me every time my bros come to me, or my father phones up, and says somethings happened to the computer but they dont know what.

And im gonna have to try #4

lol im super Noob almost fried his chip trying to overclock to settings on a stock cooler. because his processor wasnt marking 1800 xp on the bios. lol had to clear the cmos for him he was sweating it he thought he had over juiced his chip. lmao

number 3 is basically what i said when my buddy crashed his truck into the guard rail.. i was in the truck.

ROFL. I always say #7 to everyone who asks me to fix their PC. I also use the line "Oh GOD!!! Again? Jesus Christ you shouldn't have control of such a complex machine if you don't know how to use it!". Well I was the victim of a dead PC last week. My laptop decided to go to the big computer heaven. The processor died and took the motherboard along with it. :'(.
