I do believe some sort of explosive device was triggered inside the computer case, I highly doubt that anything out of acomputer could kill someone as fast as that appeared to have. Because who's just gona let themselves be burnt to death? i mean seriously. My money's on explosive devices probably not safe for civilian without proper training.

We got ubar hacker with a modded up transparent computer case. Not only does he not notice that some one has installed new hardware into his computer, but he fails to notice that the new hardware has the words "C4 Explosives" written on it.
I beleive as you do. they say it was the computer computer, but never indicate if it was the tower or monitor, i see this very plausible if it was an old crt. tubes contain alot of gases, and are compresed.I have herd of tv's exploding and killing so a crt monitor would be the same thing to me. it is part of the computer so the author say's computer not monitor to pull readers in.
