How's this for a funny story.

The other day I was using a shitty keyboard (couldnt type fast enuf for msn) so i go to switch it to a better one thats just lying around the house. So i unplug keyboard #1. Plug in keyboard #2. This is while my computer is running. No one ever told me it wasn't good for your computer to do that.

So this new keyboard isn't working. I sit there for a second kinda pissed off. Then i smell this burning computer smell. I think "awwww **** now what" (this computer is kinda falling apart). I turn it off and look inside. BLOWN CAPACITOR right beside the keyboard plug. (****)

So now i have a choice to either buy a new board, chip, and ram. Or buy a USB keyboard. Either way its a pain in the ass.

Hope someone gets a chuckle out of this. OH! AND learns not to switch keyboards while your box is running.
