Nice pictures, but Dell needs to work harder at it, the exploding MACs a while back got much better (colorful) flames.

A friend of mine had a Toshiba laptop; we were playing games in the student lounge and it started to smoke up real bad. We all ran away, FAR away, after we ripped his plug off the wall and grab our stuff. It didn't catch on fire, and we thought that was bad... WOW!

Wow is all I can say I have never heard of anything like this. The ironic thing is I hate dell and I have said many times to burn in hell to my dell but it never combusted.

Regards,
Troy
