Had a cap blow in a monitor we were burning in once, which in turn set the ceiling on fire.

I forgot all about my old A500!!

I had an A500 with a brick PSU, that my idiot brother would use the switch on to reset the computer by flipping it off then on again really quickly because he was to stupid to remember ctrl-Amiga-Amiga for a reset.  After what must have been several weeks of doing this I actually saw him do it and screamed at him about it.  Within two days, I turned it on and sparks started showering out of the venting on top, and melted the casing.   Wheee fun!
