I swapped out a motherboard but forgot to check the position of the mounting holes for the standoffs of the new motherboard. There motherboard survived (dont know how) but I burnt out the power supply. I felt so dumb and dumber.

I used to game using 5.1 logitech speaker setups with my laptop mic for teamspeak 3. THERE I SAID IT OK. I WAS A CASUAL AT ONE POINT. A CASUALLLLLLLL

 

(to be fair, that laptop mic was freaking amazing; it's sounded better than every headset mic I've ever owned since).

[Recon97]

When I was little and used to own a pentium 2,I beat the crap out of it once.Hammered the processor,cutted the mobo In half,threw the ram for no reason.

Should have preserved it...

[MPX309]

I bought a PS4 instead of a 4690k and a z97 mobo

[TheKDub]

Never wore an anti-static wrist strap when working on computers. (Nothing bad ever happened)

[sqwidee]

Current worst tech crime: using a stock Dell membrane keyboard on a gaming rig. Tempted to pick up a K70 Browns but can't steady my nerves and buy the thing. Wallet will get angry.

Using it on my laptop is an upgrade, but compared to the K70 I could be gaming on... damn... freakin stone age...

A bit, but it's also giving the finger to the goverment and the media industry, but who cares most of their systems and tactics are old and crappy, time for a revolution!
