Back in '99 I think it was... my joint didn't start.. turned out the heatsink wasn't good
Another time in '02 .. I had bent one of the pins on the CPU...

other than those 2 times.. I been good.. I retired in 13 from building when I built my 14TB server.. the technology and prices hit a point where it seems like it cost me more to build.. I bought about 4 all-in-ones since..

I would feel weird not putting one in my next build but I haven't used the one I have in so long :ld:
people eventually had to move on from floppy drives as well.

It's over for Optical Media on the PC.

The mounting screws? I forgot that for the comp I'm currently on now. Luckily, the mobo is a Gigabyte that prevents it from shorting but it could've gone south quick :merchant:

I think @Orbital-Fetus did something similar

you learn from your mistakes :manny:

i forgot to put the brass stands on as well but it did not ruin my mobo, it just didn't start up.
after i put them on it was fine.

i would have been pissed if it fried my board.
i got lucky i guess.
