How Not To Install Computer Hardware

Posted by timothy on Monday October 20, 2003 @07:43PM from the do-your-worst dept.

ssassen writes "Most computer hardware websites tell you how to get your computer hardware up and running properly and not RMA it after the first boot. Hardware Analysis takes a different approach and tells us exactly how NOT to install computer hardware. They document many of the pitfalls that'll sound familiar to many enthusiasts and have some great pictures of what could go horribly wrong during an upgrade. Very funny, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face!"

The one that really kills me is when someone plugs in a PS2 mouse while the system is running because it got disconnected for some reason (read: some idiot tripped over the back of the case). The person in question just plugs the mouse back in and then is surprised when they have to reboot anyway to get the mouse recognized again.

You wouldn't believe how many people don't realize you can fry a motherboard that way...
