Suckage: Ouch!

IrishSS · 11-01-2001, 02:24 PM

Damnit! Working inside my case, and I accidently stick my thumb into my 120mm blowhole fan, and whump! Hurts liek a mofo, and ontop of it, it broke a fan blade off and now my case is wigglin to and fro from the vibration...

Did you at least fix what you were trying to fix in the first place ? it would suck more if you didnt. How about slicing cucumbers and accidentally slicing of a small piece of your finger? Havent had cucumbers in years.

hahaha... in a sympathetic way of course...

hapoo · 11-01-2001, 11:58 PM

anytime i do some serious computer work i always end up cutting my finger(s) on the sharp edges of the case... even though its rounded off.

Heh thats nothing man. I was trying to take off a metal plate in my friend's comp so I could put in a zip drive. . . Wasn't paying attention and late at night. Kept on wiggling the metal to take it off and *poke* Next thing I know my thumb wasn't bleeding, it was flushing out blood like crazy. Ended up putting I nice 2 mm gouge in my thumb. It was whicked, thing kept on bleeding for over an hour.

IrishSS · 11-02-2001, 02:02 AM

now, the question presents itself... should I get a new fan, shelling out the $18 for it, or go ghetto style and just break off the opposing blade and get rid of my annoying wobble...

hapoo · 11-02-2001, 03:05 AM

Ghetto! Ghetto! Ghetto!
why not just superglue the broken side back on?

Just go get a new one. (Nothin' worse than "ghettorizing" your PC... what's next, using duct tape to keep it closed since the case screws are missing?)

Hey good idea

DAMN straight

IrishSS · 11-04-2001, 08:14 PM

Ya... I'm not gonna just glue it back on. Theres nothing to hold it from flying off again.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The horror! I would be all sorts of ticked off... BTW, its still sitting here rattling around... I've been too lazy to swap it out yet...

hapoo · 11-05-2001, 12:21 AM

Well... he did say that it is making his case wobble. Also, I would think that it would cause some "noise" as well from the missing blade.

It still ain't broke.
