Mainboard fury

One day I came back from work early summer I sensed this funny smell. I tracked it back to our computer up in the attic, but could not clearly see what could cause the smell. So I just powered it up to test when a 10 centimetre long spurt of flame raised from the mainboard.

 

The computer has never been in use since.

 

I stripped down the pc today because we've got a new socket 775 mainboard ready for intel dual core, and discovered how bad it really looked.
