happy day today, i am the proud owner of 3 sega cd consoles =D. two of them are the later 1993 model that has the "playstation" style loader, and the other is the older one that has the cd tray. the guy i bought it from said they won't power up, so i checked the power on the ic's and there wasn't none. all 3 systems had fuses blown, so i jumped them =D (it'd suck though to have a fire)

you should reconfigure your Sega Beast™ to where it has the segacd added on to it. and i wouldnt worry about a sega cd bursting into flames, you should see some of the insane stuff i used to build  |

Do you played 3D games there? Or ripped a movie to DivX?
If not, get ready for KABOOM! I have a litte Celeron that goes HOT (it reaches 60º sometimes, but normally it runs at 55º, depending on the ambient temp)

LOL Gigabite. That reminds me of a buddy of mine who had a Computer-on-a-Stick(tm). He worked on a university campus' tech support department and got sick of pushing a cart loaded with parts all over campus, so he nailed(!) a power supply, MB, HDD, CD-ROM, etc to a 3 foot long 2x4 and carried it around with him to test components and/or ghost the HDD he carried with him... on the stick. Maybe later I'll tell you the one about the CPU that MELTED through the MB...  |

Maybe later I'll tell you the one about the CPU that MELTED through the MB... i believe it. modern cpus can get EXTREMELY hot. my friends athlon 3200 runs at 183 deg farenheight (bit too hot) mine runs at about 122 deg. i have smoked plenty of processors also. example: ati videocard, had 2 gpus on it, one for each video output. anyways the capacitor broke off on the top gpu and it got lost, so i found one that was almost the same uf (like 2 or 3 off) and the thing literally got so hot that the gpu started glowing orange, then cherry red, and thats when i yanked the power cord off the power supply. when i looked at the chip, the top of it was unrecognisable, it looked like it had lava bubbles in it that poped. kinda strange for only being 12 v DC X.x. in other news, the bottom portion of the card still worked XD |
