I finally found the video my ex-boss told me about. But before I link the video,
a little back history:
Last year, I worked in a warehouse that either refurbished computer equipment
or recycled them. During my tenure there, we worked with all types of PCs and
a few Macs that did roll into the shop, but there was 1 particular PC that came
in on several skids: The HP D530 SFF.
The power supply units had faulty grounding, so when you tried to plug in the
power cable (whether or not the cable is plugged into a socket), the PSU of
the computer would literally fry itself.
I did post a video of this a while back, but it was poor quality and very short.
This was the video my ex-boss was talking about after one of these computers
blew up in my face. Since then, I've blown up just over a dozen of these, but
was never able to get one on video myself (since there was a ton of work to
do), but here I show this video to you.
Also, go to 3:56 of this next video. You don't see it (the video is cropped for some
reason) but this was a shipment of computers that we needed for an order.
I was standing to the right of that truck.
Yep. EPIC FAIL.
