Hey guys! I answered a family tech support call today to recover some files off a couple old IDE drives. His old computer had at some point in storage had the 115/230v switch nudged the wrong way and he tried to start it up.
He said when he started it, the internal speaker started saying something about "improper power" and "lithium battery problem", and then the PSU let out the magic smoke. I'm kinda amazed the mobo had a voice recording in it for this kind of occasion.
Anyway, I pulled this out of it as he wanted a souvenir. It was his recording studio PC for a number of years and he was visibly upset about having to let it go.
This Turtle Beach sound card had to have been some kind of primo product back in the day. Two (optional?) daughterboards and friggin' SODIMM slots, populated with a whopping 64mb of RAM.
