Comment Hardware I've Abused lately... (Score 1) 1352
Well in my short computer career i've seen/done the following:
Hot-Swapped Hard-Drives/Floppy-Drives/PCI Cards (doesnt everyone get curious?)
Dropped Computers from 4-5 foot onto concrete
Lately i was changing the ethernet on a HP DL-380 and the damn thing literally dropped out of it's rack,landed on the machine below it and brought that down onto the machine below that!. scary moment. first thing i did was ping them.they replied :)
i used to have a PSU (in an old gateway machine) that could withstand the "low power" mode ;) it was plugged into 240V on it's 120V setting and happily worked ( although there was this strange buzzing noise )
A VERY intersting story i read lately involved a death metal band, a hard drive and a chop stick! link: http://www.quovadis.qc.ca/eng/news.shtml
