Since i like hearing about other ppls computer related misery, I figured I'd start a thread that can turn out to be a funny as hell read.

Off the top of my head, The only thing i really ever screwed up that i can remember is I had an old 200 meg SCSI harddrive, and the Adapter plug on the back of it for the power broke off when i was putting it back in my machine (I was always messing with the thing , was about 15). So I took out my trusty soldering iron and soldered the connector back on.

When i turned the computer on I had Unleashed the pent up smoke demons inside the Hard Drive. It was completely fried. All my hard work was gone! (mostly porn and a duke nukem 3d).

I did Make a few motherboards spark by dropping screws into them by accident when i'm tightening down a Card. But nothing to make it die for good usually just sparks, than resets the computer.

Tell me your screwups I need a good laugh.
