PSU fun? Or PSU boring?

[Shambler]

Cut off all molex ends, strip wires a bit, twist all wires together... flip switch... profit?

Think this would be worth a look, or a smokey dud?

And yes, I am bored at work on Friday.

That would be pretty sweet with a cheap supply, but I wouldn't do it indoors.

Maybe we could get the Corsair reps to... experiment

And of course they would have to make yet another sweet video about it too

The unit won't even power up. Even a really, really cheap unit will see the short and not power up.

Well damnit Jon. Make it work!
What would we need to do, to see an extremely sweet explosion on this lovely Friday?

Why not just shoot the thing with a high powered handgun if you are bored???

Switch that to Shotgun and you have one hell of an idea on your hands! Especially if the thing is turned on, and on top of the diesel generator that is powering it.

I love shooting computer hardware.

Give it a resistive load that doesn't share a ground with the PSU. Eventually you'll overload the PSU and it'll pop.

You could also send 230V to a non-PFC PSU with a 115/230V switch set to 115V. That might blow the primary switcher.

Any chance BFG will create a PSU explosion vid to combat Corsair's?
Instead of one PSU per pop... daisy chain a few

And I definitely agree Dan. Has quite a large hint of Office Space doesn't it?

 

[Waffletron]

I want to see this very badly! I'd like to see the combination of too high voltage input with low resistive loads!

I love that video. I think it would be lame to even try to imitate it.

Oh no Jon. There will be no imitation! I want at least a few PSU's going off at the same time, possibly connected together. I want Enter Sandman blaring in the background and [H] painted across your chest standing behind the PSU's holding sparklers.

Lets make this one to remember!

 

[Arcygenical]

Connect the 12v lines of 2 PSU's in series and ground to earth?
