Jingle Bells Played With Graphics Card, Santa Wonders Why
As if the entire office full of guitar-controlled lights wasn't enough to make any holiday complete, some enterprising geek has taken it upon himself to give you a rendition of Jingle Bells played on his graphics card heat sink. He probably wont debut at Carnegie Hall, but I'll give him points for effort.

Give me my 30 seconds back
I have mod points and I am not afraid to use them
Seriously, I was expecting something along the lines of a program that used the hum or whistle of the fan and speeded up or slowed down the fan to get the jingles. This isn't even funny.
This space for rent.
... but that "Merry Christmas" at the end has a decidedly ominous vibe to it. Maybe a little more time out socializing and less time plucking at one's graphics card ...
Seriously, though, yet another interesting holiday re-use of equipment. My sarcastic comments aside, Merry Christmas back to him.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
There are programs that make the Commodore 1541 floppy frive stepper motor play tunes.
