Done this by accident moving the case while PC was on.

Could this damage my PC?

:confused:

Some people say yes, but these days with all the protection it's unlikely. Still possible, but unlikely.

What components would most likely be damaged if any?

I have the Corsair HX620, and everything is running of a surge protector. Just a bit worried.

Thanks.

when my HDD was dieing I did it repeatedly when my pc refused to switch off (DELL pc)

no damage that i've noticed, as that was a while ago

Nah should be fine, give it a go. If anything is damaged, it will be any data being written to the drive at the time.

Your power supply would have stopped any harm getting to your computer, don't worry... its no diffrent to having a power cut...

Just think how many of us have experianced that in our lifetime in owning a PC.
