Scott Small 🇨🇦In today's episode of IHaveTheWeirdestDreams, I was visiting my grandparents and happened to notice that their neighbour across the street was throwing away an old computer, putting it out next to the recycling.So I walked over and asked the neighbour if I could take it, he said sure, and so I brought it home with me. It was a late 90's HP tower, and since my testbench doesn't have a PC yet, I figured it would make a good addition.I brought it home (and for some reason, "home" in this case was my childhood home and not the condo I currently live in), set it up on the floor of my bedroom, and powered it up. I didn't plug in a monitor or any accessories, just the tower, to see if anything would happen at all. The fan spun up and the power and HDD lights came on. So far, so good.And then it burst into flames. Blue flames.I unplugged the flaming PC from the wall, yet for some reason it still had power. Fortunately the flames were only internal, but occasionally a small flame would appear through the edges of the power button or CD and floppy drives.In my infinite wisdom I decided the best course of action was to run to the kitchen, grab a set of oven mitts, return to the bedroom, and carefully carry the flaming PC out into the yard, where I could then douse it with a hose, putting the fire out.Once the fire was out I removed the side panel and observed the charred motherboard and expansion cards inside.And then, for some reason, I went into the basement, grabbed a frozen turkey out of the freezer, and threw it at the computer.That's when I woke up.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>
