Hmmm. Mountain Dew may not be a bad idea

Showed Hubby the pics here. He said it looks good but could see the problems of vegetable oil and build up.

Then showed him last page- "...but we recommend motor oil."


Now thats a computer even he'd try.


Customized: Add a shifter and a clutch and he's good to go.

:DStory tellin time.....


Got new PC parts.....motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card.....all-in-all, close to $800 worth of stuff. Got it all assembled turned it on for the first time and.....


.... accidentally knocked a full can of Mt. Dew off of my desk. It landed upside-down inside my open computer with all new parts.......while it was running.

Mt. Dew was sprayed all over the inside of my computer (thanks to the myriad of fans inside) the can was emptied into it.

Turned it off, un-plugged everything and ran it into the kitchen where I dis-assembled it. Went to the store and bought rubbing-alcohol, Q-Tips and toothpicks.

Spent the next several hours meticulously cleaning every square millimeter of all the components.

In the end, it cost me another power supply and I was running on the same equipment for almost 2 years (just replaced the Mobo, RAM and CPU a few weeks ago).


Now my dirtly little secret is out!


:D

Thats surpising those components could have survived that much liquid while the computer was ON. I've heard of people spilling liquids inside their computers while they were working on them, but the computer was off. Just letting the computer air-dry for a week did the trick and everything worked fine.
