..my friends computer.

Well, this morning (its the afternoon here in Scotland) I was at my friends house. I got there and his parents told me he was away and wouldnt be back for about 45 minutes. They let me in and I went to his room where his computer was. I flicked on the PC and decided to lurk on the NG BBS while I waited for him to come back.

I logged on to his user (his password is 123 for some reason :p ). And was about to start firefox when the PC froze. Crap. I knew that were was a reset button round the side of the computer so I fumbled around and pressed a button that I found. it was very stiff and when I forced it down the sides of the pc fell off. Neat.

Inside the PC the fans and everything where still moving. I reached for the socket on the wall and pulled out the plug. Bored and with nothing to do I started looking round all the different pieces inside the PC. All of a sudden I accidently pulled out some red cable. I tugged at the the red cable (stupid thing to do, I know), there was a loud snap and the fan on top of the CPU came clean off.

Since there would be nothing to keep the CPU from overheating I had a stupid brainwave (again). I took hold of the main cooling fan for the computer and tried to bend it towards the CPU. It didnt budge so I reached inside and grabbed the actual fan blades and pulled. One of the blades snapped clean off. Ohh fuck.
My mobile started ringing so I slotted the sides of the PC into place and answered the call. It was my mum telling to get home. Just to try it out i plugged in the pc and turned it on. After a few seconds it went staright to the windows boot screen. It was working but It sounded really fucked up and smelled like a bonfire. I yanked the plug out the wall and made my way home.

Just a few minutes ago i reached in my pocket, and found the CPU cooling fan. I took a picture of it (pics cus it did happen, k?).

So erm NG, is my friends PC gonna blow up and burst into flames or just brake down?

tl;dr - BANG lulz.

Well it'll screw up somehow, probably not into literal flames. But it'll be funny, so don't tell him.

Oh and, sorry for the crap quality but I used my webcam to take the picture which made the quality bad. The imageshack resized it which made it even worse.
