I had a Corsair power supply blow on me [nothing else died]. After throwing it out it I found the receipt and it still had a weeks guarantee on it DOH!.
Not too expensive for me lets hear of you build/spill/overclocking disasters.

I wonder how many good cpu's have died being scalped, its not like if you have overdone it with a few too many volts and just sent it back and said "oh it just stopped working".

Glue gun a graphics card in place that's class Ha!, I once got an old Acer lappy of the bay next to nothing, fitted a new hard drive and a replacement lid as one of the hinges was cracked. I had no wireless at the time so inevitably as you all can guess I tripped over the attached lan cable sending the 17 inch lappy flying off a table, I still worked but the lid was completely detached from the rest of it. The old lid and a tube of epoxy resin later it was back in action, I wish I had a photo of that old lappy, that glue went everywhere.
