I read about this yesterday on The Inquirer... That's all the more reason to [sdt=11318]not buy a Dell computer[/sdt]!
I can't say I've seen a Dell actually explode before, but I have seen an HP set fire to itself. Unfortunately there are no pictures of that; there will be if my HP decides to do it again.
