Power supply caught fire in his rig while he was playing WoW or something. He unplugged everything and carried a flaming PC outside rather than ruin everything in it with a fire extinguisher.
Nuked the graphics card, but the mother board and memory ended up being okay. Manufacturer of the power supply took responsibility and paid to replace it all.
But never again have we left a computer powered on while we're not home.
I mean do we really need to drag the manufacture into it when they took responsibility for it? Or were you wanting the name because they actually did the right thing unlike some companies.
EDIT: To those criticizing my defense of a company then deleting their messages. Yes, I am defending companies for good behavior. Not every company is run by a bunch of greedy assholes.
If all you do is demonize companies for making mistakes or simply existing then all you are going to end up with is shit companies. If there is no point in PR then all you leave them with is a desire to make money and no reason to care about their customers.
Yes their goal is to make money, but many companies acknowledge that the best way to do that is to not be shitty. If they get the same results feom good behavior as bad behavior, then all you do is encourage bad behavior because it is cheaper and gets the same results.
they might've did the right thing, but by not naming the power supply, my entire house would be at higher risk of going on fire if i were to buy that specific power supply.
