Luckily I only had once bad luck, not so long ago.

I was setting up my vapo on a Athlon Xp 1800+ AGOIA with a EPOX 8kha+. I got myself a 340W Chieftec power supply from someone on the forums. Everything was brandnew.
Well, it was time to boot up, vapo goes to -15 after some time.
Smoke comes out of powersupply, really bad smell and then a big nothing.
After checking and rechecking, the powersupply was faulty.
It fried my cpu and motherboard.
Powersupply was under warranty so no probs, cpu obviously lost warranty and I'm still waiting for the mobo to get it back from Wallabie ;)

now that's bad luck :p

Personal, nothing (guess I'm carefull).
Did manage to pull out a PCI card with the power on. I didn't realize it untill I placed it back, then the PC shut down. No harm done eventually.

professional:
Testing CPU mobo or RAM, whatever, assemble quick system on box with anti static bag over it (basic testbed).
Buzy assebling when someone calls me for something trivial (I'm apparently the only one with at least half a brain).
Comming back, continuing and burning something up.
I placed the cooler but they called my before I fastned it. Forgot to afterwards. New rule, click the cooler on or put it next to the mobo.

Something more effective. Run likewise testbed overnight for memtest.
Come back the next day, and the whole store smells, you know "that smell".
Epox used to place MOSFETS on the bottom of their boards. They got hot. REALLY hot when insulated by a cardboard box and ASbag.
Burnt a hole in the cardboard of about 15CM diameter. Mobo wasn't in much better shape.
Socket melted at one side and the cooler came loose, scratch a duron 1G.
Funny thing, board was still "running" that next day. Wasn't doing much, just power. Oh and the RAM worked.

i think i won't let you test my hardware freestyler :p:D

owke, all on the shops hardware. Both fortunate as unfortunate.

i luckily haven't killed anything yet so far
not rushing and remembering you don't have the money to buy new stuff really prevents you from killing your hardware :)

the only thing i ever killed was a calculator ......
i just went to sit on my chair and suddenly "what the **** is under my *** ???"
oh, a broken calculator :p

The only thing I remember destroying, was when I was about 11 years old or so. I thought I was a computer scientist or so, and I Was going to take out the Hd and put it back. I got it out, and put it back.

I Turned the pc on, and sparks came out. Woops, I mut have had put a cable wrong. The HD was b0rk3d.
