I gave my old PC to my fiance. Her old PC was a true piece of s***, partially fried motherboard with no internet or networking capabilities. GeForce FX series card... it deserved to be put down. ;)

Not sure how it happened. The PC was online and lightening hit, the modem went out as well as network card. I tried to replace them but nothing.

Soon after power supply went. Replaced it and the PC ran fine... but no matter what, any card I put in to replace the modem it wouldn't work.

I've been waiting for two years now for the whole thing to go down but it hasn't. And a friend of mine who builds PC's around here looked at it, he said it's a miracle the damn thing has kept going. He told me it should've been completely fried.

:) Simple electronics: The weakest point breaks first. His NIC, modem, and PSU were all connected to the blast, but they were the intermediary between the shock and the pc. POP! PC is still ok. :) Now, if the bolt hit the pc...

I suffer from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and I tend to clean... constantly. I get really anxious and uneasy when things are out of their place.

A friend comes over and moves DVDs around on purpose... I always spot it instantly. I can tell you right now that Clerks 2 is in the first case, third shelf, fourth from the end. ;)

Yeah, I've got OCD also. The thing about me is I can't stop going on my computer and I have anxiety but I'm not really obsessed with keeping things clean. My room's kind of a mess!

I too have OCD. The funny thing is, my apartment gives a whole new meaning to the word "mess". Most of my compulsive behaviors involve numbers and always touching things with my right hand last. If I touch, say, the keyboard with my left hand last, then I get nervous and anxious until I can brush it with my right hand. Weird, eh?

Wow, I had no idea we had so many wack-jobs here... no, j/p I am actually insane: I'm anal about grammar and spelling, very edgy and bitchy sometimes. I try not to be a dick (except for when I am joking; then I go for it). ;) -Slink

This is becoming a "Share your Insanity" thread :P

Lets see... OCD, Bipolar Type 2, Manic Depressive Disorder, and Schitzoeffective Disorder. Hell of a mix, but intensive live-in therapy and meds have gotten me mostly straightened out. As long as nobody finds the bodies, it's all good... :P
