If a spider crawled into my computer case?

[OutcastSpartan7]

I know it might sound silly, but I have these weird scenarios that go on in my mind constantly, but the current one is if a spider crawled into my computer case and got electrocuted on the motherboard or something and shorted something out and fried something... is this possible...

I know if a human jumped into a power transformer it would short and it might fry something, would the same be relative for a spider against my dual 12v rails?

Thread gets a HI5 for originality.


In answer to your questions yes any spider that crawls in will not only blow your PC up it will also blow your house up as well.

One second I will go and find a spider to measure the resistance across the legs.
EDIT:
The resistance is pretty high as my multimeter is not picking up anything.
I wouldn't worry unless you are playing with high voltages.

Is the spider wearing ESD equipment?

No, because a spider touched the case before entering, there for is anti-conductive

I've had PC's with spiders living in them before.

Spiders have an exoskeleton which probably isn't electrically conductive. A recently moulted spider might be more conductive.

Somebody do tests!

You had spiders living in your PC?! What is this world coming to...

Whilst spiders are on the table, what happens if I put a dead rabbit in my pc?

Depending on the processor it may come back to life.

That would be hare raising

It would take off because the treadmill isn't a horse?

What about a Queen Wasp?

 

[:(Rhodri:)]

Depends if the dead rabbit had recently ingested a spider before expiring surely?

Thanks for the hilarious responses

Good show to you all!

If you cut a spider in half is it 2 spiders or 1 spider?

If a spider attempted to get into my case it would most probably die a gruesome death being shredded by one of the fans or just get blown away.

Eh?

 

[gettothechopper]

by my calculations it would result in the terrible outcome of wierd science meets war of the worlds
