nothing so far, intending to keep it that way

one Abit TH7-II, not killed by me, never worked
one CDROM-drive

thunderbird 1000 Mhz not killed by me
gf2 mx 400 not killed by me
512 ddrram, not killed by me.

that's about it.

mod: ook nog het vermelden waard: mijn moeder heeft de xp1800+ die ik van gamer gekocht had (voor de toen royale som van €250) vernield, en weigerde hem dan nog terug te betalen ook :(

SY mobo SY5EHM, socket 7, spent 1 month waiting for my ATX tower, abit BH6 and CPU. I put some coolpaste on my proc and my northbridge burned?! :/

abit BH6, due to messed up CMOS. took a P3 700 with him in his grave (I thought only mobo was dead. sold CPU for 110€ but appeared also dead :( when I can, I'll let the mobo be tested)

=> lots and lots of CDrom drives :)
=> 2x IBM 60GXP 40gb, each disk returned to tones 2 times, 2nd time they traded for some seagate disks ;)
=> 1x WD1200 8mb buffer disk, returned to tones once, got a brand new one on the spot :)
=> 1x teac 8x SCSI writer... Fine machine, burned me > 1000 CD's, when it was about 3 years old, I accidentally pushed one of the pins on the connector inside the drive... It kept on functioning, but with one minor detail : it didnt recognize all CDR's on the instant, you had to put them in twice, which became quite annoying....
=> one P1 133 got fried by lightning some time ago, was still a good pc
=> same happened to a P2 system, also not too old... fried, couldn't recover a thing...
=> that's it I guess... no biggies untill now by my doing, I'm a very carefull dude :p

good thing there are ensurance companies... they pay lots of money for old pc's :D

Wij wonen op een uitgestrekte vlakte, de loods zelf is uit YTON blokken gebouwd, met alu dak en stalen constructie om alles te ondersteunen. Vlakbij staat een zendmast van het leger, vrij hoog ding... PC kamer bevindt zich niet in huis, maar in onze vroegere woning (die in de loods geintegreerd is, zo zit ik lekker alleen op mijn gemak :D ). Vandaar waarschijnlijk de vele schade door bliksem :/ Trek sindsdien toch bij het minste schichtje de stekkers uit :D

one question Duron, how did your mother break that XP 1800+ ?

1 PIV1.5
1 PIV1.8

XP1600+ (was it the transport, was it the Prome after all ? never knew ... didn't get any replacement either :grum: )

XP1800+ (DOA)
MSI K7T266 (guarantee ... IDE1 commited suicide, rather strange)
4Gb Quantum
4Gb Maxtor or WD, don't remember
GF2 GTS (not completely f*cked ... OC'ed it too far, wouldn't do standard clockspeeds without glitches anymore)
Yamaha 8x4x24x
some ancient mainboard from a 286 ... (my first major breakthrough in wrecking hardware !)

Nothing!

Q - Tec 250W PSU
TwinMOS pc2700 RAM

playboy, how did you kill your twinmoss ram?

applied the superglue for unlock. Was drying on my desk in the sun, but then my mother begun cleaning my room an trowed evering that was on the 'versterbank' to my desk, including a holder for tape (one of those hevy things). It must have landed right on the cpu, because several pins were broken of or bent and the core wasn't intact either :(

gf4 ti4600 died oc-ing
2x tb 1.2 core crushed, damn titan cooler
abit kt7a raid, just died
aopen ak72+athlon classic 800, just died
abit it-7, just died

A lot of things "just died" here recently, really should make some work of my electrical installation and/or have the company check the incoming parts

OCed it a little with standard voltage to see how far it could go. Then turned it back to standard speeds. Few houres later it went bananas :/

:wtf:
mine here does 190, loose timings, 1.85 V without any extra cooling

installing 2 morrow active memcooling though

Think it's particially my fault. Maybe I had a bad stick, and I think I pushed it to far with the OCing.
