Well, maybe the FARIES fixed it in the NIGHT!

Call from a corporate user: "PC is broken, send an engineer out!"

Me: "And you think this because...?"

User: "Someone else said they were having a problem with it."

Me: "Which was...?"

User: "They didn't say."

Me: "Do you have the PC there in front of you?"

User: "Yes."

Me: "Could you read the error off the screen to me?"

User: "What, so I have to plug it in again and switch it on?"

Me: "...yes. Because without any kind of indication that there is a problem of any kind whatsoever, the PC technician team will merely sneer and send this job back to my manager. So I'm going to need an error message, a fault listing, a hardware output code or something of that nature. Otherwise, I'm assuming it's working fine and little computer fairies flew in and fixed it in the middle of the night, chanting little pixie songs all the while. Here's a ticket number, feel free to call back if the computer displays an error. Bye."

i have too many hard drives for my comp, as well as a bunch of unessary crap that i have to switch the cables around for. Really i need to upgrade, but hell... not time yet. But it happens to me every time i open the case.

Get a CM Stacker. Best case ever, even if it is somewhat large.

size doesn't matter.

Depending on where you are, between $160 and $200, and worth every penny :)

I drool over those and have yet to be able to get myself to buy one.

Yarg. Yes. Even worse, computers with massive, sharp heat sinks. Ow. Sliced my knuckes really good on one once, trying to unplug things that suddenly... came unplugged.
