Ze_ro Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Ironically, the power supply for my Pong machine actually does hum when I plug it in. It's pretty quiet, but if you listen closely... there it is It's scary enough that I always keep it unplugged unless I'm playing it. My room is enough of a fire hazard as it is --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My room is enough of a fire hazard as it is I have all the classic games on a master switch that I turn off when I'm done playing. I certainly don't want my house set on fire by a wayward 5200 ps.

Gunstar Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I keep EVERYTHING new or old on power bars/surge protectors that get shut off when not running,not just for fire hazard, but also makes sure that they will last a lot longer...

liveinabin Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I run all my consoles from a coal-fire powered electricity generator in my living room, housed in an asbestos case. When I want more than 1 console on at once, I simply throw some lighter fluid into the mix. AND I swim right after eating, yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
