1 Dead, 3 Injured in Case Mod Gone Awry
Waco, TX - Neon tubing and blow holes weren't enough for one local
computer case modifier and now the deaths related to case modification
are two. Just 12 days ago Carson City, Nevada teen Warren Botrey was
killed in a house fire when the acetylene torch he was using to modify
his computer case ignited his comic book collection and destroyed his
home. This time the victim is Waco resident Sean Whitman.
"He wanted a case that looked like it came from a war zone. I told
him he was crazy, but that Sean is a visionary. First we took the
case out back and shot it a few times with his pistol, but the holes
weren't big enough to allow proper ventilation," said survivor Fred
Willis. "After that we left Sean outside while we went to get some
more brews. Next thing we know we're pulling glass out of our eyes."
According to what police munitions experts can piece together Sean
Whitman attached two large propane tanks to his computer case and
began shooting. The explosion created some very large ventilation
holes in his chassis, but unfortunately for Sean some very large holes
in his torso also.
"It probably wasn't the greatest idea in the world, but we were pretty
drunk," said Fred. "I'm very sad to see my friend Sean die, but I
think he guaranteed himself a spot in overclocker heaven with this
one."
NRA President Charlton Heston said, "It is unfortunate that a young
citizen has been killed. We hope that all Americans learn a valuable
lesson from this: Guns don't kill people, exploding propane tanks
kill people."
