mourn your dead hardware here

[Siva]

due to an odd series of events, involving reapplying thermal paste and dropping a processor I now killed my athlon 700

may it rest in peace, it served me well over the year...

now i have to sell my soul and most of my worldly possessions so i can afford a socket a mobo/proc/heatsink

My poor monitor. Wait... monitors... I had to exchange 4 monitors to get a working one from KDS. NOTE: Don't buy KDS monitors.

Thats pretty much it.

EDIT - Oh yeah, and a bunch of dead mice/keyboards/printers. And a 300Watt PSU.

My poor, poor hard drive. It was good enough to warn me ahead of time before its passing. Hence, I mourn it even more. Since I would have been completely screwed otherwise.

It was also VERY quiet, the new drive I bought is loud as hell. I couldn't wait for the replacement to get here, so now I've got a nice quiet sealed drive collecting dust in my closet until I build my next computer.

I miss that old drive.

My mobo, I don't know what kind it was, but it be dead now. Damn kittens and pepsi, its a long tragic story.

And now I am mourning all of your losses too. Excuse me, I need a tissue.....

My poor no-name mobo that housed an AMD K6-233. It was a sorry case of drinking and BIOS flashing. I'm not sure what happened. I just know that it never booted up again

 

[Yeeny]

Drinking and flashing, ahh, high school memories come rushing back.....

 

[casimec]

My replacement Intellimouse Explorer from MS

 

[Geekbabe]

Epox slot A mb that I slammed into a wall after yanking the defective POS crap out of my case...lol, the MSI K7 Turbo that replaced was so frightened at this display that it hasn't given me any problems


Lol, I have a poor history with Epox boards, I blew up two of their socket 7 boards when I was first starting out

Only hardware that has died on me are my keyboard and mouse, but they were Compaq junk, and I replaced them right away.

I had some Generic PC100 RAM die on me today. Luckily, thanks to this thread, I picked up a Kingston 256MB PC100 DIMM from Dell for $20.21 shipped. Sweet!

 

[mdennison]

I would like to mourn the first processor i killed a k6 300 o/c to 350 and my recently deceased 64mb cas3@100 that ran at 133cas2 ram that I had since pc-100 first came out.

 

[Robert01]

I haven't killed anything yet--although I've had the honor of &quot;retiring&quot; some of my hardware. *sniff*

 

[natto fire]
