Smokin' hardware

I've got some really smokin' hardware here. Only it's the bad kind of smokin' hardware.

My displayport video card is dead. I could actually see something flash momentarily where a short had burned something up.

The culprit: A displayport adapter cable.

I tore the cable apart and what did I find? An insulation sleeve that doesn't fully cover the ground from the connector. That could be the source of the short.
