finger safety

13 Nov 2005

last night i almost ripped my right index fingernail off when it got caught in my cpu fan. was investigating a rattling noise (which originated from my northbridge fan) and thought i could stop the fan by sticking a finger in. smart, eh?

well, looks like i won’t need to change my cpu casing after all. unplugged all my cables and rearranged them nicely to make more air space. discovered a nice corner behind the hard drive cage to tuck most of them into.

i also rearranged my ide drives and managed to wedge in a 120mm fan into the drive bay area. in order to avoid any more finger injury, i’ll need to source an aluminum grill to cover it.

    guess i exaggerated a bit there. but it did bleed. :O luckily it’s not as bad as getting a thumb jammed between a volvo’s passenger door. i’d know. 😛

    ouch ouch… gosh, i’m definitely not brave (or silly ^_^) enough to stick my own finger into any moving fan parts. others’ fingers, yes, but not my own. 😉

    seems like you’d better start keeping your fingers to yourself myuu-myuu… hehehehehe…
