I've shared this several times, but what's one more?

I forget what I was doing, but I needed a monitor for a PC to see if it still worked, the specs, and all that stuff...

Couldn't find a monitor, so I grabbed the monitor that came with my Performa 6115CD. I'm not sure if it was me, or somebody else, but we plugged it into the computer...maybe in the COMM port, because the Apple Monitor was the style of connector where it was 2 row, of 8 and 7 pins.

Well plug it in, turn on the computer...sizzling sound, black smoke starts pouring out of the powersupply fan pushing air out of the computer. Unplug it. Wait for some to clear from my basement...and the smell, oh man was the smell of burning plastic bad.

Open the computer, and the card the monitor was connected, was melted, and the wires on/around it had the insulation melted off...it was bad.

Oh, and the monitor still worked!
