Ghost In The Machine

without comments

So I’m sitting here thinking “hmm, I think I’ll go play portal on my PC”.  So I meander my way over to it, and notice the lights are on, but no one is home.  Specificially, the PC lights are on, and the blue LED in my usb wireless card are on, but none of the fans are spinning and there’s no noise at all.  Normally this thing is noisy as hell since it’s PC that used to be a server, with multiple SCSI disks and the whole bit.

So I’m all “oh shit” and try to turn the power off.  I hold the button in, no dice, won’t turn off.  So I unplug it.  Lights are still on.  WTF.  I turn off the power supply switch.  Lights are STILL on.  WTF?  I even unplug the monitor, and the led’s are still on.  So I’m like “ok, uber capacitors or something”.  It’s been 5 minutes now, and the lights are STILL on, and it’s kinda creepin’ me out, cause there’s no electricity hooked up.

Seriously.  WTF?.
