There's a scorpion in my power supply!

[enPhotic]

I noticed that the 80mm on the back of my PSU wasn't spinning. I thought it might have broken . Then I took a closer look and found this little fellow crushed by the fan blade.

I guess he thought it'd be a nice little home, until I hit the power switch.

I live near San Antonio, Texas. I've seen a few sneaking around our house before. They're really small ones though, and usually my cat gets them.

What a crap-ass power supply... Mine would have chewed the little ah heck up and spit it out the back. A brown snake had the misfortune of trying to sleep in my PC last month, .... It wasn't a pretty sight. Took a week to clean up the mess.

Make sure your power supply fans are titanium bladed, and sharpened regularily, I always say.

Damn, nature is effed up. Scorpions are some nasty little bastards, too.

 

[sirheck]

a brown snake? arent they just a little poisonous.

 

[Datman]

and I work out doors with them when they are coming out of hibernation, it's about as dangerous as this.

That's a good pic. here in Nevada, scorpions can be a real problem. One good reason never to run around barefooted. Never had one hide out in my computer, yet, but now I'll have to keep it in mind in case something stops working.

 

[cronjob]

Hey, it could be worse. You could have Scorpions in your PSU:

 

[bunkgoats]

Do you live in Arizona or Nevada? I suppose New Mexico is possible, as is Southern Utah.

Did you forget the link?

I think he was referring to himself as a fan. . . . 0wn3d
