The computer took several direct hits and failed in sections (first we lost
the keyboard/mouse controller, then after several more long, direct hits, it
died outright.

The APC power supply survived, despite passing so much power then when
unplugged you could see arcs pouring out the end of the cord onto the
concrete floor.

The large horizontal Bandsaw went up in FLAMES (and turned itself on) and
was destroyed. This was the result of forgetting to unplug the UPS unit
during one of the tests and injecting topload power levels into the mains
power :)

Big fun.

I'll post a teaser video of the bandsaw-fire-screwup tomorrow (Adam was
finishing it up today).

Hi Chris,

Your link has been fragmented, but your picture
looks gutzzy.  How did the computer and monitor fair.
