Dangerous Dell's

Dell Inspiron 1200 Burns Down Farm House

Love the part where the person is trying to contact Dell to tell them of the problem and can only get customer support from another country. I personally hate outsourcing because some of the customer service reps have very piss poor English!

Interestingly enough that person could have really fast results if they'd just get a lawyer.

It isn't the first instance of computers causing house fires, nor will it be the last.

130 year old farmhouse. Stood there since Cowboys were chasing Indians, and it`s floored by a laptop.

You guys don`t mention whether or not you went to the bottom of that page, but there`s links to two other fires, with pictures, also caused by Dell Laptops.

There's a great video on the PCPitstop site where they forced a laptop battery to overheat and filmed the consequences. Fascinating and spectacular (in a rather scary way):
