Most Burnt/Broken Stuff Award
Is there an award for this? If so could I be a contender?
I've done 2 CPUs in a week, followed by a 2 PSUs, Motherboard, Hard drive, DVD ROM Drive in one go. Before all this, I managed to break a monitor and 2 120mm fans. All of this was within the space of a year. So far my rig has set me back at least £2000+ because I'm really clever at breaking stuff  Mum doesn't like it but hey :PSo, is there an award?  |

I just smashed 2 486's and a PII for the hell of it.
I fried a whole PIII system including: SB live, 512megs of ram, PIII@980, GF4 TI4200, Abit SE6 I fried a P233 and mobo from a bug shorting it out I fried a 20$ PSU by leaving it on over night. I Have killed 3 fans from volt mods. I have smashed lots of keyboards and sound cards just for fun. I broke a few 56k modems. I broke a PIII800 from my first watercooling attempt. I have broken tons of printers just from over use. I have had tons of keyboards break (naturally) I have has a few mice die. I killed a few wireless keyboard recievers from a short in my cheap mobo. I set a socket 7 mobo on fire. I accidentally dropped 128M of ram it failed to function in any machine after that. I have had tons of other things break, this is only what I remember off the top of my head. |

If you haven't broke it, You aren't pushing it hard enough! Alright maybe not, but I nearly blew up a brand new Radeon 9700 along with my Motherboard do to a defect in my CPU waterblock

I heard the flames from a PSU twice. One time it was from my computer and another time it was from a customers PC. It caught on fire and they wanted to know how to make it stop so that they wouldn't have to buy anything. For some reason the computer was still working and they wanted to know what setting to change to fix the fire. By the time I got there the computer wasn't working though.
