2 years ago I dropped a glass full of orange juice on my computer case. The only thing that survived was my CD rom drive and floppy.

Hmm.. bout 7 years ago when i was first getting 'free games' on aol about twice i ran a nice install.bat that deltree'd windows. :)

Anything recent though, my mom put a vase on top of my desk for some reason and when i closed the keyboard tray it shaked and the vase fell as water poured into my monitor that was on.

After some buzzing it shut off and made some bad noises.

After 30 minues of blowdrying it still worked :) for about a year. heh

I've been using it in dusty places. I feel so bad for it, but as soon as I remove the dust it just comes back again. :|

Hey, I did the same thing a few months ago! I was putting a PC together at work (my own PC), it was 5:00am, very tired, somehow I didn't realize the PC was running, plugged the power into the HD and ZAP!

Took a sledge hammer to a computer once. Okay, so it was just an old POS 386 packard bell.
