In the early 2000s I got an Adaptec SCSI card and a bunch of SCSI CD-ROM drives for free somewhere; I had a stack of 6 CD drives with discs for the games I was playing in them all the time.
This went wrong when I was cleaning my desk and I lifted them while I was playing Baldur's Gate II, creating a big scratch on the disc. I polished it up with some toothpaste and it worked fine after that (even used that same disc to install the game later, IIRC).
Kinda ridiculous really, but it was good fun playing around with these sort of things when I was young.
