I haven’t seen anything melt that bad since Dell sent the school I was working at dozens of computers with Pentiums that were overclocked right about the time Windows 95 was being released.

The overclocking and inadequate cooling combined with the original Pentiums lack of proper thermal safety features cause the chips to get so hot that they MELTED the solder on the board.

Needless to say, we sent them back and order PowerPC based Macs instead.
