Dumb@$$ hardware.

i was doing my usual browsing when i came across a review for this product from Sunbeam. its called "liquid neon" and i guess is meant to be a substitute if you want for CCFL tubes.

i was like...this is so cool..until i read this

Quote:
I discovered that the Sunbeam Liquid Neon interferes with nearby electronic components. The thermometer stopped working whenever I place the Liquid Neon near it! I also tried placing the Liquid Neon near my optical mouse and found that random clicking occured as a result!

My PC became unstable and kept crashing after I installed the Liquid Neon. Although I cannot confirm that this is the Liquid Neon's fault, I'm pretty sure it is. So, you can see now why I completely forgot about taking photos of it installed, because I rushed to remove the Liquid Noen from my case
i must say this shud be nominated for one of the dumbest pc products ever.
