Default ah... first short...
Hey sup guys, when I was checking my email guess what happens I hear a popping sound that scares the hell outta me(I'm thinking its my graphics card) and it turns out that its a pci slot fan(I see theres a spark on it, its turns off a second after I get too it and I start to smell smoke). Its a blue thermaltake one with two fans and blue led's. RIP little blue
