I bought a $400 video card and installed it on Saturday. Only used it for like 45 minutes because my girlfriend was over. I drop her off Sunday and figure I'll play a couple matches of Modern Warfare before bed. It's like 11pm Sunday night. As soon as I sit down I reach for something and knock over a glass of milk (I was eating brownies earlier) and it poors directly on top of my PC case that offers just about no protection from liquids because the top of the case has several hundred ventilation holes.
I turn it off immediately but I wasn't sure if I did or the liquid had just fried it. The milk pretty much missed all my old parts but a puddle I could see was sitting on the graphics card I had had for less than 36 hours.
Since I am working from home and need a working computer the next morning or I would have to drive into town to my shitty office I got to work. Took the shit all apart, cleaned everything looked everywhere I could for moisture and finished cleaning everything at about 2:30am. Put everything back together, take it to my room, hook it up, magically it works. By this time its like 3:30am, I have to be up in like 2 hours and just decided not to sleep. Stayed up all night, yesterday was a fucking blur.
Imagine being really tired late at night, laying your head on the pillow but then immediately having to get back up and do hours of very tedious cleaning.
It fucking sucked, but everything works, and amazon is sending a replacement thank god. Dumbest shit ever, need to find a better place for my PC.
