wrecked an ATi xt800 aiw, due to the zalman silent cooler clamping it too hard, causing ram issues and so received a new one from ATI, but because didn't want to get up for pliers, used a screwdriver, it slipped knocking off an smd resistor wrecking the card. dead card!, in the dead parts pile...
wrecked a Ati 9700 because a capacitor was to close to the agp release lever, so I pushed off the capacitor, didn't RMA It because i modified the cooler, voiding the warranty., in dead parts pile...
because i didn't know that there was fan control software for an Asus 4870 dark knight, i cut and modified the fan cable for the card(voiding the warranty), and the spring from the scythe Cpu HSF fell on the card shorting the power section of the 4870, so that the it wouldnt allow the pc to post because the 4870 said "hook up the power cables to the card" but they were. in dead parts pile...
killed a "pc power and cooling ultra silent psu" (ROFLMAO over the title.. so untrue) (way back in the day) when a screwdriver bit fell and shorted the power supply (sparks)... in dead parts pile...
killed the cpu fan header on a m3a32mvp, buy shorting it. not in dead parts pile...
lost a 3200amd cpu because of a bent pin. in dead parts pile...
almost lost an PNY 560ti card because of the arctic cooler extreme II clearance issues... i say almost because i had set it aside for months thinking it was toast, but then a got a 990fx sabertooth with SLI anddecided to see if the pny along with a gigabyte 560ti if it would work... it did (the PNY) no display, but it worked in SLI, so i went back put the arctic cooler back on, bolted the backplate to the card, and it's working now. not in the dead parts pile.
finally, in a stroke of back luck, my sabertooth 990fx has to be RMA'd (not due to my fault!) because the first pcie slot is stuck at 8x, the onboard audio does not work (it was working through my monitor but just stopped working.)
now the PCIE slot one will not recognize nvidia cards (9800gtx, 560ti) but will recognize my AMD 6950!... not in the dead parts pile. yet (but needs rma, is it will be in asus's dead parts pile...)
