So last night I was in the other room watching TV and smelt something weird. Kinda like when the bug guy comes and we were getting Christmas stuff out so I thought it might be some residual spay on the boxes. When I walked by my PC room I raw the smoke with in it. My PC was on fire, not big just a 3-4 inch flames but still on fire. The side panel was off so U had easy access to seeing it, the HD was on fire from the bottom side. I blew out the fire pretty easy but still the house stunk and the board had caught fire and had started melting the plastic hr cage/holder from the Haf case.. the little thing the HD snaps into so you can slide it in and out. The HD was pretty old and I just used it for storage, it was a Seagate 320. Anyone else run into something like this before?
I'm so lucky I was awake to catch it or it could of been real bad.

oh ya best thing ever is the PC was still running while on fire and I shut it down properly before addressing the fire, I find that comical!
