So, this customer have a dead 150W power supply and would like a replacement. The thing is right now it's really hard to find a 150W power supply, so I suggest him to upgrade to a 250W, 300W, 350W whatever... but then he asked "Will it blow up my computer? What if it fried my computer? Is your company gonna take full responsibility?"
How would you explain the extra 200, 300W won't fry his stupid thing?!?!??!?? Geez I feel so dumb.. -------------------- |
