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!"

    The above bandwidth seems to be the maximum, considering how long it's taking to load the site!! Let's see what reloading will show... ;-)

    Well, I suppose this definitively proves that /. readers actually do RTFA. When they can.

    You'll find that most people RTFA, these however aren't the same people that read/post comments - as according to what the /. crew tell us occasionaly a relatively small percentage read comments, and an even smaller percentage post.

    It's a play with words. Popel means booger. So what is more revolting:

    Soilent Green (TM) is:

    I don't think we've linked to a site that shows cool stats like these for a while. I somehow think that, on an average day, they don't have 9,773 unregistered users visit at a time. But they seem to handle that, and the 3+ Mbps bandwidth peaks, without a hitch. Do you know how many jokes could have been made had we Slashdotted it and left their server a smoldering wreck?
