What is the most expensive piece of equiptment or software you have completely screwed up or broken.

I once dropped a 17 inch flat panel and cracked the screen. it was worth about $1500.

I once took a Viper for a test drive and wrecked it. Does that count? (-;

I broke a $20,000 Xerox Fiery (motorola processor based harddrive that feeds images to a full color copier), just by changing the IP address...

at least , that was xerox's story , all i did was push about five buttons which Xerox tech support told me to push , and when it went to reboot , it would hang during the authetication phase.

Probably letting a Compaq 6400R drop from a bench... whoops! about $20,000 worth of server hardware...

Uh... busted the case, and the scsi hard disks didn't like the drop!
