A while back I collected up a load of spare parts to build a second machine, and forgot all about the heatsink + fan (it was a slot 1 PIII). I left it installing windows and even used it for a while. I left it doing what I intended to use it for (quake 3 server) and when I came back that thing had BURNED.
Before that, I had a pentium 75 PC I moved to a new case. It used the old-school PSU connection, and I forgot about making sure both power connectors to the motherboard had to be on correctly (black to black). I turned it on and it died. Nothing spectacular, it just didn't do anything. The only other thing I've done is something you only do once, ever. I switched that little switch on the back of my PSU from 220V to 130 or whatever it was. I turned it on and it popped. =\ Jam it back in, in the dark.
