Haha, that's really wholesome. I remember how I destroyed my first PC on the first day by flipping a switch on the PSU before turning it on. Good times.

- detritus 5y agoI did the same with my very first PC. For shame! I'd been used to simpler 16bit and 8bit machines, including a spectrum...
- matthewmcg 5y agoOut of curiosity, what switch would that have been? Was it a 220/120V setting?
- hnick 5y agoI'd bet it is, because I did the same (in a 240V country). I knew it wouldn't end well and did it anyway because, I guess, as a kid I was used to the world not letting bad things happen so didn't really believe it would. There isn't a switch on the toaster or TV that bricks it after all. Anyway got a spark and the magic smoke, and bought a new PSU from a guy at school for $15.
