Description

After the first attempt to burn a mainboard with electricity being a major success it was time for round 2! This time the victim was no 486 but a 386 mainboard. Again the reliable 24V/19A transformer was used. Because the fumes which appear while burning the board we used a protective mask and a smoke absorber (which will be shown on this website some day).
