      IIRC this is the second time you got something burned in a thunderstorm. First time it was a modem or NIC ?

          I should have taken some photos when my 1 week old P4C800-E Dlx got fried by lightning.
          Went in through the Parhelias TV-out and through the gigabit port.
          The current jumped from the mobo to the case, blackening the metal behind it

            Yes, I´ve got a modem burned a couple years ago.
            And yes, it´s my defunct Asus A7N8X-X. Neat, huh? Southbridge barbecue
