Dropped an AMD K6 with attached heatsink not once, not twice, but three times onto a concrete floor which finally cracked it.

Had a slave hard drive connected to my benchmachine and typed in FORMAT C:/Q/AUTOTEST instead of D: (for those that don't know, the /AUTOTEST goes and does the format without any warning or verification... there went my bench machine drive.
