Too many... (Score 1)

Me and hardware just don't mix ;) During my not too long days of playing with hardware, this is what has been led to it's demise by the hands of my clumsiness: - 3 motherboards: two by static discharge, one by screwdriver) - 1 CPU: core meltdown - 2 harddrives: one died spontaneously (crappy hitachi), the other one was probably moved around too much and got internal damage - 1 CD-ROM drive: destroyed lens. i inserted a copy-protected disc without thinking twice :( hmm.. that's probably all. my dad once fried a monitor, too, by plugging it into a ~300V outage, thinking it was the standard ~230V. the smoke was quite abundant.
