Have you ever been hurt by a computer component before?

[coen113]

my heatsink cut me up. and my macbook charger electrocuted me. and burnt me.

[Jeroendedoem]

You can get cheaper ones, but it is good.

Example

[Raid]

Many, many times.

The worst are through-hole components with badly trimmed leads.

[-iSynthesis]

And I stuck my finger in a fan by accident and the blade removed my fingernail about half way. It was a fast fan. It burrowed under the nail.

Try that with a papst 10000rpm fan and say bye bye to your finger lol.

I put a fan grill on the fan afterwards.

[wrath]

at my old pc i got angry one time cause it was always freezing (this was like 10years ago) ,and i was so angry that i hit the case as hard as i could and the case won this fight too

sure it got a bump on it but my hand hurt like 2 days after it

 

and btw im still using that case,interior aint the same

it aint pretty but its tough and i plan to change it too

[Sintezza]

I once got my penis caught in a corsair fan going full speed.

 

 

 

I have to say, you have got a very weird fetisch.

 

Are you sure you dont need any psychiatric help? lol

[moonedunk]

Dont know how but when I got my evo for my old build it sliced my fingers when I picked it up to mount it.

[Guest]

While working with a printer, I accidentally touched the fuser it was so hot that it burned that incident in my memory.

 

This is why i avoid the laser printers at work. 

[DarkRift5]

MSI I/O plates hurt

[woodycarson]

The fins on Noctua coolers are near razor sharp. I may have been nipped once or twice.

[GeTecknics]

Well we had an old case and the side of the case was held together by a screw and some bending steel. Trying to bend the steel made a cut in my finger and then I had to clean the floor D:

 

Offtopic:

Actually picking up one of thoes next week, are they nice controllers?

yes they are just dont touch the pins while its on

[ROK]

too many times i've cut my fingers on pins and solder points on motherboards

 

Also fans. bitfenix spectre are the worst and slice through flesh at high rpms.

[Anthony10]

Heatsink fins are a pain

[Tech_Dreamer]

No POST scenarios , Hurts me all the time!!

 

 

on a serious note, none except one time this slight static like shock from PSU & case due to faulty wiring on the building

[harrynowl]

I had to catch a motherboard, and the sharp solder on the back didn't do my hand any good. I've also touched a netburst running with no heatsink (wanted to see if CPU was running as it wasn't posting). I've also touched a 990FX chipset and 680i SLI chipset while they're running.

I didn't know as it was my first experience with them, and i wouldn't say no to knowledge, but man I regret touching that fuser.

[Aristocrates]

Is that why your title is "Ex-apple fanboy"?

 

I've caught my finger on my laptop cooling pad fans a couple of times but they're usb-powered so they don't hurt - I end up worrying more about the fans than my fingers

 

Other than that I haven't really been hurt by computers before (except the emotional rollercoaster that it is to game on an hp laptop), but this thread is kinda scaring me about my upcoming pc build

 

The computer gods demand blood sacrifice!

[Swndlr]

the other day i dropped my graphics card on my foot, hurt like fuckin hell... the metal pci holder thing fell directly on my bone.

[hmminteresting]

Pretty much shredded the skin on the back of my hand on the RAM pins on the back of my mobo friking hurt

[Goose Legs]

I've worked in some old PCs before rolling the corners of the steel was a thing. Aside from blood loss and a few shocks from 12v DC when I was probably doing something I shouldn't have been, I'm still kicking around.

[Redheadsrule13]

Really, no one has mentioned it? Freakin PCIe brackets! Every goddamn time I go near then I get cuts on my hands, especially in older cases.

[Nafanya]

The sharp edges of my first build actually made me shed some blood. Ahhh, the dorns of roses... (That case was €90, what a POS, lol.)

[1823alex]

Smart old me thought a smart idea would to be to open up an old 7.2k rpm drive and touch it with my pointer finger, I'm sure you can guess what happen next. For those who don't know; My finger got caught on the arm of the drive as it was spinning and I got a mini rug burn type of issue, hurt for awhile I was bleeding for a bit but I was fine after about 2 min of "Holy shit what the fuck just happened".

[MeltyMoon]

I'm just wondering, has anyone been hurt before by a computer component?

 

I smacked my face into my 900D Front Bezel ON ACCIDENT and my face lost the battle :C (Face + Steel = Steel wins)

I've tore my arm open modding a friends case for him, wish I had a picture of the look on his face hahaha
