I hope this page will load fast enough - russian hosters enjoy to limit the bandwidth to Europe and America. The text on top of the page reads:

A young man brought a computer to service center and says: "It's not turning on!"
after inspecting the motherboard we said: "Oh really?"

[BobCobb]

Do these people read the instructions to install things? Apparently not..

[SlayerDragon]

:lol: That's awesome. The holes provide extra cooling too!

[Thrash123]

They are speed-holes. They make the motherboard go faster.

[Kyllian]

>_<
what... an... idiot...

[Plumb_Drumb]

Oh. My. God.

my heart skipped a beat looking at those pics.

[namu]

Good thing he didn't drill through the processor itself.

[ilkman]

Did the guy make the mounting braket for the fan himself, or is that the stock mounting braket?

If its stock, then I dont see where it would fit on the motherboard. Is it incompatible with that motherboard?

[Wormbo]

Who said the heatsink was made for that motherboard? :)

[Jackal]

....what the christ....?

[hyrulian]

Hahaha, that is truely brilliant!! :lol:

[B]

OMFG please tell me that's fake, people can't be that stupid, can they?!

Appearantly Russian mobo's are made from wood? They used wood screws...

[hyrulian]

Heh, then again, the guy obviously didn't know what he was doing anyway :D

[ant75]

He probably thought the printed circuits on the mobo were actually futuristic decals.

[Deathmaker]

Appearantly Russian mobo's are made from wood? They used wood screws...
Yeah, what an idiot, everyone knows that for a really professional job you should use wood glue in conjunction with the screws.

I wonder if he's Hollywood's (http://www.tech-forums.net/showthread.php?threadid=68275&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) hardware guru friend?

[Dave the Insane]

Wow....

STUPIDITY MUST BE BANNED!!!

[Xaero]

The infamous "My friend works on computers, and he said to do this" excuse. I cringe whenever I hear that. Then again, those "friends" keep us real computer techs in a job, so more power to them.

[totalloser]

it wold be funnier if he wold had plug the motherboard strigth into the electruci outlet instead of the power supply.

You've never seen a motherboard, have you? This clown would probably have severely burnt his hands before finishing that absurd soldering job.

therefore my comment on how he should had plug the motherboard straigth to the wall outlet.

[Rambowjo]

Oh my god... actually, the cooler was the thing that really made me "wtf"

But he's a dumb ass anyway :shock:

[Sahkolihaa]

What an idiot.

[Kaligraphic]

What an idiot.
What a crappy bump.

[John O'h Diggin]

Great more wholes I have to agree the guys is very idiotic, but you can't expect anything from people like him.
He should of asked a smarter human being then himself to do the job.
And I'm not talking 80% more brain power then the idiot I'm talking all the way.

[Latent Image]

that be funny

[sinikk]

:eek:You don't have to be a genius to figure out that, when you pay money for a pice of equpment, you dont drill holes in it unless you actually know what you are doing, but you do need a small amount of intelligence.

This is really worring. The only good thing about this is that, being brain-dead, he probally won't have any children.:p

[Fuzzle]

WHAT THE **** DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE LITTLE GADGETS ON THE BOARD ARE FOR! DECORATION?!

[RoadKillGrill]

wow thats about as dumb as the guy who trimmed his 7800gtx to fit in a pci slot.

[GotBeer?]

What a crappy bump.

lol make it bigger

[hyrulian]

Haha, this is classic, I totally forgot about this one!
Another funny one is when someone completely coated the CPU with heat sink grease, but didn't put any in the center where it really matters :lol:

[GotBeer?]

lol make it biggerThat was the best a quick google image search got me.

[Dark[NSF]]
