The worst thing I ever did with a computer was incorrectly plugging an AT power supply into a motherboard. Fried everything. It was my partner's computer. I thought I would save a few bucks doing a simple AT power supply upgrade. That very day my ISP and my regular tech came to the office and were present when I was diagnosing the extent of the damage. They were both good sports about the problem and didn't tell my partner. I was really embarrassed. I told my partner that the problem was the cheap power supply he had purchased. Of course, we have all switched to ATX since. It is much harder to screw up with ATX.

Anyway I got him a new computer that afternoon. Thank god for backups.
