I'm not thinking of anything!

What, really? My first computer that I built was a Socket A, and I somehow managed to not break the die as a clumsy teenager with a vague idea of how computer bits go together, even though I swapped processors/heatsinks in that thing a dozen times.

I broke an Athlon core by putting a heatsink on it a little too rough - I read up on how fragile they were and installed it with half the pressure I normally use putting on heatsinks, but it still busted the core.

It was heartbreaking, I couldn't play Morrowind for another three weeks!
