lol fair enough.

Well i've seen a good few Antec and thermaltake psu's, none have the switch on Must just depend on the model. ANyway ours dont (we're all gamers )

microwaving works perfectly on anything electronic.

Ask my brothers ex, her phone, camera, pda, bank card were all cosmetically perfect but absolutely useless following a short blast in the microwave by my revenge driven brother. Her printer, computer & laptop were too big to fit in the oven so chargers, power supplies, memory chips and other removable bits got the treatment.

Warning……putting bits of metal in a microwave can damage your health and the oven. (which of course doesn’t matter at all if your unfaithful ex is planning on taking the oven too)

Tell him to grow up, if that doesn't work ...

(using your best poker face) you have mentioned this threat to your cousin/uncle/godparent (who is a boxer, with boxer friends.., and is 40 minutes drive away), and if he touches your belongings or gives you any more trouble, he has offered to come round and beat the crap out of him, and his PC.

If he says, you haven't got a cousin.. you don't see or talk about that side of the family much, because of their violent tendencies, and frequent holidays courtesy of Her majesties prisons.

As for protection, put a bios password on it for a start, and maybe get a tamperproof screw/padlock/kensington lock for the case.

lol I play a lot of poker but would find it hard to keep a straight face telling him that anyway! He's the type of guy that wouldn't care. He's an absolute waster. The girlfriend and I are physically revolted by him. He hasnt showered in weeks, is RIDICULOUSLY overweight now as he just plays on the computer ALL day and eats.. thats it.. and he'll just make himself ill.

I know he's going to have a bad life, and I'm very happy about it. But gotta move out first before I feel relaxed!

The locks on the door are dodgy and can be easily broken into. I've rung the landlord and he's going to come round soon to change them. That makes me feel better. Just worried about all my food and stuff too! We dont feel safe in our own house!

The poor girly has depression as well so this isn't helping. Ah well. Placement starts in a few weeks.. counting down the days literally now!

Say it with a smug knowing smile then, works just as well

Also mention you have been in contact about the rent they owe you, and he better have his cashcard ready cos your cousin doesn't mess about when it comes to unpaid debts. (which is why he takes frequent holidays).

Take a photo of him in his sleep, in all his bloated glory.. there are loads of websites that might be interested in such things.

How are you my long lost cousin btw? LTNS. Must get together for a game of crib sometime.;)

Better still tell him if he touches your pc you won't shag his girlfriend for him any more!

MercilessKiller

Him have a girlfriend? Now that is funny!

Lol if there was any confusion when i've mentioned a girl, its my girlfriend and shes on my side

The guy is so revolting, he couldnt get a girl.. just no.. lol. Thats how awful he is. Yet he has the cheek to threaten my life? Meh...

Hook a web cam up in his room on the sly, Not forgetting of course a live feed to the internet. then post him some !!!!!! in a brown envelope from another city, sit back and wait.

Just in case - hide a webcam pointing at the PC?
(make sure that any footage is saved on some online server - not on the PC's HD itslef! lol):rotfl:

i was lucky in my flat sharing days, all the guys were ok. but some of their mates were a bit dodgy. i had some money stolen once and some small items stolen on another occasion.

make sure your data is backed up just in case.
