My computer randomly died this afternoon and when rebooted told me that it had overheated. I call our support guys and they can't send someone out until Tuesday. :td:

The computer is running but who knows for how long.

Now, to collect the life-insurance (keg deposit) and trade-up to a bustier, friskier model. May I suggest North Coast Old Stock.

I routinely find laptops stuffed in our office freezer. Apparently this is some sort of IT folklore that you can recover lost data if you freeze the drive.

I'm not joking about this.

Might be worth a try. Can't be any worse than pouring beer on it.

If anyone tries this PM me with a link to the pictures and the overall outcome.

Maybe we can convince the guy bidding 93k for the HDD that it will only work soaked in beer.

Yeah just be sure you've got someone to drag your drunk self home after a night of drinking that. And that you don't have anything you have to do, like work, the next morning.
