While trying to figure out which of my 60mm fans was quieter, I was running them naked. The first was a 5-watt OCZ Brand fan..... I cliped my finger in it, sent a fan blade across the room, and I have three cuts in my finger. I then put a band aide on, cleared my head... and connected the second fan. A thermal take 2-watt 60mm fan. I then clipped my OTHER finger in it! Moral of the story: MODDING HURTS! P.S. Peace
couldn't you have been a bit more inventive with the plasters, I was expecting carbon fibre ones or something!! ouch on the fingers. I once managed to put a saw through my finger while cutting a tree, that hurt as well!
Modding can be painful some times... I wonder why I have never got cuts in my fingers. I jam them into fans almost every day. Maybe my fans aren't powerful enough. I just came to think of a soldering iron experience of mine: Some years ago, when I had never heard of computer modding, and Bit-tech didn't even exist, I was doing some modding on my bike, which included soldering. Somehow I managed to burn myself like a hundred times, and the climax came when I dropped the soldering iron onto the underside of my wrist . Got a nice burn there... Normal people would maybe go to the emergency room or something, or at least stand under running water for a couple of minutes, but not me; I tied a wet rag over the burn, and went shopping I actually have no marks from that burn today, so I think my way of patching it up worked. We modders have an advantage when it comes to patching ourselves up after accidents...
Well I am missing the center of my fingerprint on two of my right hand fingers. Instead of a swirl at the center the pattern gets random. That was from soldering.
The one I broke is dead silent now.... I think I will try and find a quieter one then both of these. (They both sound like a vacume) I changed my bandage on my index finger (which was cut the worst) It's pretty darn deep... four hours later and it was still wanting to bleed when I took the bandaid off. Oh I also forgot these:
I managed to get my finger wedged THREE TIMES in my motherboard backplate when installing it into my coolermaster
Been there! When I did field engineering work fixing laser printers, I lost most of my fingerprints touching LaserJet fuser assemblies.
o add to the list when I was cuttin g the window on one of my old AT cases I grabbed a chunk of it with pliuers in my right hand. I ripped it off. Unluckily I happened to have my left arm holding down the window. WHen I ripped it off I bent my right elbow towards me. This left two nice long gashes where the jagged metal scraped me. Instead of disinfecting it, putting on bandages, telling my parents, etc. I wiped the blood off and continued to cut my window.
Re: ZapWizard clips his finger in a fan! (Twice) ahh the old "stick my fingers in a spinning fan and send high speed shrapnel from it flying across the room" I remember doing that to a 120mm fan Im glad it was only 3000 RPM but it still hurt.
heh i stuck my fingers in my psu...... bad idea. i also have a horizontal scar on my thumb where i sliced it open while 'forcing' a screwdriver onto a screw and it slipped and went into my thumb.... was EXTREMELY sore lol
i've cut my self many a time doing that hurts for a while and bleeds but a little wipping on the shirt does the trick none of this plaster crap [bandade] lol is for wooses anywya why no vinyl dye you dye everything and as everyone else has suggested to mod your plasters ADD some leds sweet
i stuck my thumb in a 60mm delta a year back i lost hte bottom half of my thumb had to have 16 stiches and skin graft, and now i have no finger print on my left thumb.
