Me and hardware just don't mix;) During my not too long days of playing with hardware, this is what has been led to it's demise by the hands of my clumsiness:
- 3 motherboards: two by static discharge, one by screwdriver)
- 1 CPU: core meltdown
- 2 harddrives: one died spontaneously (crappy hitachi), the other one was probably moved around too much and got internal damage
- 1 CD-ROM drive: destroyed lens. i inserted a copy-protected disc without thinking twice:(
hmm.. that's probably all. my dad once fried a monitor, too, by plugging it into a ~300V outage, thinking it was the standard ~230V. the smoke was quite abundant.
those bastard almost had me fooled for a while:-(
this is by far the MEANEST april fools joke i've seen:
