Who did that? I don't think that person should even be using computers.

[p0Pe]

"do it yourself for dummies"

[crenn]

Um... wow.....

[nevermind1534]

It looks like he/she tried to fit a modern heatsink onto a socket 7, 370, or 462 cpu, and used his own mounting bracket.

Poor old Gigabyte...

(Is that a Gigabyte? Might be a Shuttle or something, but I think it's a Giga. At least (based on what I remember/can find) it's probably a VIA-based one, rather than nForce/2... Damn shame anyway, and probably a later one, as it's got Japanese capacitors on it.)

This actually hurts to look at. To add insult to injury, the schmuck put non-conductive spacers in between the bracket and the board...

[ContraptionMaker]

Oh just put a couple of more screws, some duct tape and a little bailing wire...it'll work like new.
Maybe this will help him :bash:!
ROFLMAO

[mittelmeier]

Wow. That seems like something a person I've met would do. Scary thing is he has a business repairing computers.

[SXRguyinMA]

all I can say is....WTF?

[phen0m]

Haha, what an insult to all computer users.
I read this conversation between a office-computer user and tech-support that reminded me of this.

A guy called in asking why his computer went blank while typing in MS office. The tech-support guy ran him through a few error things and asked him to make sure the connection were secure and then:
office-guy "I can't see behind my computer"
tech-support "Why not?"
og-"The lights are off"
ts-"turn them on then"
og-"I can't, the power is out"
ts-" -_- "
ts- "Oh, I see now. I think this is really bad."
og-"How bad?"
ts-"You need to put the computer in a box and take it back to the store you bought it from"
og-"What do I tell them?"
ts-"Tell them, you're too stupid to own a computer!"



Stupidity at its greatest.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol i have heard that one a few times......

jon... wtf ishe doing...... slap him???

[nevermind1534]

It was posted here before in the the best tech lines thread.

[phen0m]

Ohh.
I just noticed, the two pics look like they are of different mobo's.

[nevermind1534]

I think they might be the same.

[phen0m]

But the first one is obviously green and the second one (to me) looks blue.

[chaksq]

They might have dyed it blue on the top for asthetics, cannot normally see the backside when it is installed so why bother doing both sides.

[nevermind1534]

There could also be different lighting and/or light coming and the picture taken from different angles. This can make two pictures of the same thing look very different.

[Acey]

Man, is that mofo trying a Myth Buster thingy? Like.. "Who says you can't drill a mobo and make it still work?"

[b4i7]

this guy is an extreme modder!

[phen0m]

^yea haha.
He doesn't care if it works as long as its modded to his liking.

[nevermind1534]

If you went through in the right places, it could have no effects, but that has obviously caused some damage.

[nevermind1534]

I like what this guy did (http://www.computerforums.org/showthread.php?t=78280).

[Spawn-Inc]

If you went through in the right places, it could have no effects, but that has obviously caused some damage.

i doubt there is any spots on the board that can stand a screw that size. even if it looks like there is nothing there don't forget there is several layers of circuits you can't see.

[nevermind1534]

There are some empty spots on an xbox board, but it's very unlikely to go without causing some damage on a PC motherboard.
