lol! who said you can't work on the inside of your computer while it's on? i was having problems with my dvd playing audio cds so i opened up the case, realized i'd moved some of the audio cables around when i switched my video card a few months ago, so i moved some shit around and voila..... cd audio works again. man, i've fixed a lot of crap this break: new kernel, SCSI working again (burning CDs), audio cd playing...
