*swats dragon with flyswatter*

No messing with my tech!

Not one of my favorite subjects but still a good looking pic nonetheless.

Quite nice. I need to show this to my mate, who's much into electronics and PC hardware (and myself being green and stuff, though not of this size).

Touching any of those components while in use could be quite deadly (the capacitors even afterwards), though skimming through your other pics I doubt you'll have trouble with such thoughts.

Was there a specific reason for the color-coding of the resistors, especially the one on the right?

Drangnel, as far as I know, is an electric dragon. He enjoys getting hit by lightning (as it probably has a positive effect on him), so I doubt 400 volts would do him any harm.

About resistors. I didn't want to waste the effort on having them make sense, so I made them randomly, plus I used a bit of experience with color codes, so you won't find a color that would not exist on resistors. But I realize that resistors on the right doesn't make sense, as black stands for zero, so it isn't a proper color to start the code with. Oh well. So much for trying.

But honestly, how many creatures here know how a proper color code looks like ?

Well, the rest of your pic had a whole lot of details in it, so I was sure you actually opened up a power supply to get those details. I now see that your reference pic had similarly colored resistor as well (though 42 Ohm is also a bit unusual), but actually the color combination matched my "Colors of Germany"-trigger.

And if you tamper with tech details, you sure will get a lot of techies taking notice ;)

Though I *am* a bit suspicious whether I'd use a piece of equippment which says "Broken Technologies" on all parts *g*

I didn't open up any supply nor use any of the reference's color codes. Everything you see is a more or less imaginary mess of electronic parts I randomly took out of my drawers with stuff. Save a few modifications and avoiding an unwanted advertisement of a certain manufacturer.

I guess next time I'll take the time to take out and copy a few resistors as well.

And hey, it's just a name. The quality is unsurpassed.

That's what they all say. And then stuff like your avatar happens ;)

I'm going to defend the corporate interests to the last allosaur. I won't have slander here.

So what's with all those bits'n'pieces of chocolate all over the place? I'm sure you're trying to hide sth underneath!

*goes taking a closer look*

Unless you put them there.

LOL! That's awesome! :)

So it was one of those lil' dragons that blew up a capacitor in my PSU a month ago >:U

Probably messed with my TV as well.

Be sure to put traps with chocolate and pastry everywhere.

*tv bash*

Come out, little buggers, I know you're there.

Hmmmmmmmm ok! *stuffs some chocolate into the shiny new expensive PSU* o_O NOWAIT

I mean, everywhere except your precious stuff, sheesh.

TOO LATE D:< I BLAME YOU! Hah that capacitor that blew was a cheap one, btw >_> one of those 85°-rated ones. Nevar buy be-Quiet!-PSUs

Or make sure to replace them with 105° ones soon enough.

Or keep away the micro electric dragons >:3

That's why I suggested traps, didn't I ?

Ah traps. Just make the electronics spill out a few hundredthousand volts HF at a decent current and fry those mean lil dragons that like to mess up these things >:3

Sure, if you do not plan to live in the house anymore.

Urm... hah cheap excuse. Sharks live underwater. Yup. Uh-huuh. *nods nods* So the burning smoke does NOTHING

Micro dragons don't live underwater.

What about aquatic micro dragons ;)

You have more experience with living underwater than me. I just drown now and then.

Indeed :U Then just carry some nicely flashing signal-light with you to attract some buff hung sharks (or sharkarettes) that give you mouth to mouth :3

Whaaaat ?

It doesn't matter if it's breathable for you or not, it's still water for me.

Ah .... DAMN you're right o_O Water != Air, huh? How about they have both - gills AND normal lungs that hold some unconsumed air from the surface? That would work, I .. Guess.

Any purpose other than saving drowning allosaurs ?

Nope xD So lets say drowning is not a good idea, then.

Awesome!! *Works out the value of the resistors*

A word of warning, those colors were selected randomly, so they aren't likely to make much sense. See the long comment above.

They make sense. Just usually there's more of a gap between the silver (or gold as the case might be) bands and the three coloured ones.

Maybe a little. But hey, there's a damn dragon to look at :)

DRAAGOOON. Mini dragon. *Eats him, all my hair stands on end at the electricity* 8D

Be sure to drink a lot of water to short circuit every trick he may have for you.

Awww but it looks so happy there. ^..^ Little pesky things, but they would be a blessing during those electrical storms eh? Better than any surge protector you'll ever get. XD

Now... Where's that can of E-Drag-B-Gone? Just in case... Heh.

Shweet! Was looking forward to seeing this colored for a good while :3

Wow... That was.. unexpected ^^ Thanks. It's great I like coloring of all those electronic elements. (Nah.. Just now i have to design some more complex circuit for 'digital and analog microelectronic devices' ) *relaxing on the inductor*

lol, :B

Just adorable...and a stunning amount of accurate detail on the background. Lots of folks have trouble with electronic gadgets after being used to organic critters, but you've got all the capacitors and whatnot down pat!

Hah. Thanks. No wonder when I mess around with that stuff.

Thats why my computer has hardware problems. Cool picture!

And I always thought that sound was the fan.

Inductors don't make any sound...

I mean the sounds the dragon has been making.

Funny. *faves*

so your why i had to get a new hardrive and lose all my stuff.... >.>

Backups are the way to go.

sends an anti-virus after the dragon. >.>

and a knight in shining armor for good measure.

Heee. That's cute. :3 Looks like he's enjoying a day at the beach.

Ohay! I like this! :D It's a cute scene.

Haha, that's just what I thought when I first saw it, inductance dragon. :P Hey, maybe Dragon is a more efficient core than ferrite!
