My Colony of ANTZ!

Post by amock »

After turning on my pc this morning I noticed a thin line of ants winding towards my psu. I took off my side panel and found an entire breeding colony in my pc with hundreds of tiny white ant-eggs lying on the base panel! I disposed of these quickly with a wet cloth but the main problem were the multitudes stuck behind the mobo and inside the psu. My pc is now standing in the garage with a "line off death" surrounding it, thank the pestaside Gods for DOOM (3 <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_lol.gif"> )

And to make men slay each other.
To him was given a large sword.
