    So I just finished modding my windows vista so that the startup noise is different. I changed it to "Hey kid...I'm a computa!" as heard from this youtube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9f1aiQAzJ4

    It reminded me of all the funny moments my asus has given me. I can't help but feel like it has a sense of humor. Here's a few good moments
    -While playing battlefield 2142 at a lan party after an incredibly intense minute of gameplay and an amazing kill streak I died. I flopped in my chair for a moment and sighed and said "That was intense" not a second after I said that my C90s's fans kicked in ful blast. My friend next to me said "looks like your computer agrees"
    -While arguing with an alienware owner about whether alienware or asus computers were better - my C90 falls out of my backback and flops itself right on top of this guy's 15.4" alienware. I picked up my asus and it started right back up. His alienware was in sleep mode at the time but apparently I screwed up his hard drive. I say alienware has bad build quality :p
    -I use this computer for djing at my college radio station and one night after doing my normal show I was able to keep going and take additional requests since there was no show after me. My friend wanted me to play the new britney spears song as a joke. My Asus blue screened after the first 5 seconds of the song.

    Anyone else have any funny stories about their asus' sense of humor?

    I dropped my Acer while it was running 20 minutes after I bought it.

    I Had my Laptop BlueScreen during a powerpoint in my History class. Everyone saw it on the projector. Someone at my school has a 1420 with an integrated gfx card, and he bet me 10 dollars he could play a game (think it was ut3) better than my c90s. I won. Automatically.

    Lol integrated gfx. But seriously did you give that guy fair warning of the C90's power or was he that dumb that he couldn't see the fans out back.
