Computer Exploded

Jesus man you're lucky it didn't kill you too, remember there's enough amps in a computer from the 90s to kill a human stone dead if it decides you're the shortest path to ground. And what the hell kind of power supply costs $300 and needs to come from ebay? Even a Corsair "Holy Fuckballs" 1,200 watt power supply costs less than $300 shipped from Newegg Canada.

 

Also geeksquads full of shit, if you want to see if a motherboard is fine after a blowout like this you easter egg a power supply or, even easier, look for scorch marks and smell to see if the magic smoke got out.

it was around 300$. it was a corsair 850watt tx or something like that. bought it a year ago @ 219$ plus like 25$ shipping and like another 25 in duties.

and yes stupid mistake taking it there since it was only the power supply. though i did use a giftcard ive been saving.

Wow you took it to geek squad. Those guys know crap about computers. And when I used to work for DirecTV at best buy I got to see how all they did was rip people off and tell them shit that had nothing to do with the problems they were having. I mean seriously...do you trust people with your pc that will charge you $129 to install a stick of RAM?

I'm now less worried about Geek Squad and the fact you paid $300 for a psu without warranty and then paid $300 for a motherboard. Parts like that haven't cost that much since the 90's bro

The point here is he bought it off ebay instead of from Newegg.ca, which means it may well have been a bootleg or defective since Corsair's are notoriously durable and reliable.

yes because it could only be a bootleg if it was a failed powersupply under corsairs name.
