Heres a Story for you Techies

[s0urz]

Well, I love my class in Vo-Tech it seems to be the best class i've ever taken in school that I've learned so much from and actually appreciated. Anyway so our class had a project getting funds from school of course to build a computer for a display for our open house at school. Now If you guys would of only seen it. I'm not sure exactly what the parts are called and I only have a limited time to explain the story but you guys will get the joist of it. Anyway so we unravel all the the anti-static material and start putting everything into the case, Stand offs whatever, into the case we went. Then placing in the processor followed by a heatsink, and two SLI- Video Cards.. The heatsink was specially made with two grills on the top to put the 120 MM Fans and went under the motherboard, Now our geniuses in class decided it'd be awesome to take the bottom plastic of where the heatsink was suppose to go, now our brilliant people who were working on this project then decide to attach the metal bar to the bottom of the the motherboard.. Now for those who don't know two sources of metal not grounded to the same charge will fry something anyway, so they have in the two brand new GeForce Fatal1ty Cards, and go to boot up the AMD 5300+ Black Edition, and all of a sudden they short out the motherboard, because that piece of plastic, wasn't there. $325 Worth the motherboard gone to waste, because of idiots...

I'd just like to share this, because well, I died laughing when it happened.

I've got a pretty funny story, one of the people in my class was checking out a computer, trying to see what was wrong with it (no devices detected for HDD)

and then I hear "OWWW I shocked myself"
and I'm thinking "ohh son of a *****"
so instead of only having to replace the hdd we also had to replace the ram...
