Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware?

questamor writes "After reading the recent Slashdot article linking to drivesavers and their list of damaged hardware that was still recoverable, I'm curious about the worst things slashdot readers have done to their hardware and still had it work. So far I've been lucky, and in more than a decade of owning computers I've hotplugged almost everything except a CPU (sometimes accidentally, sometimes through laziness) and never knowingly broken anything. What have you all done to your machines? I imagine there are many stories of dropped, drowned, stolen and generally abused machines still working and doing their thing; or at least, able to be brought back to a working state"

I had an incident where a nice solid zap of static electricity struck a stick of write only memory WOM, but its storage capacity only increased.

"With all my gay little files from when I was 12 years old. 16-color porn, anyone?"

Does that mean gay porn? or 12 year old porn? or gay 12 year old kid porn? I doubt it, but the way you worded it sounds funny, you need to mirror those 16 colour porn files somewhere.
