How Not To Install Computer Hardware

Posted by timothy on 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!"

    Dan's Data: Step by Step 3: How to destroy your computer

    It's a much funnier article - and still relevant, despite the fact that it's been there for ~5 years now. :)
