So my father has been out for a week or so on medical leave of absence after throwing out his back in the workplace. Today was his first day back and it would seem the gentlemen covering his shift were none too happy.
When he came into the office this morning and couldn't turn on their workstation, he soon discovered the workstation was unplugged from the PSU. So he attached the cable then hit the switch and POP! The PC lights up and starts smoking. When going in to review the smokey parts, he found the side panel of the case had been conveniently missing the screws. So someone was definitely tampering with the components.
His company is contracted to have only a single body at this office, one in the morning, then afternoon, and graveyard. So every one of the three men would sit at this helpdesk, odd that one would sabotage it.
Anyone ever heard of an exploding PC booby trap?
