So anyhow, something strange has been happening with my computer.

The screen like flickers a bit.

Sound card Ive been told...

Well Im starting to think its the monitor.

Today while sitting here it made a NOISE. ZAP... lol

I was like WTF?

Stood up, did it again and I seen it!

Then again!

I about pooed myself grabbing the cord to unplug it. Knowing the voltage is VERY high on these... Knowing it can jump a distance...

Ended up having two pennies in it... Took them out. No more zapping, but something still not right...

what kind of monitor? crt or flat screen? either way... yeah thats probably not good.

i had an old monitor that made a steady "beeep" noise.. it was high pitched, but not loud. anyway, we ended up giving it to a coworker of my father.. and when he tried to use it... it fried... off topic i know. it was a crt though.

Hey if you're in the market for a new monitor, http://www.woot.com, 19" for $209, with a $100 mail-in rebate.
