I remember at one of our LANs one of the "two hoses into an open bucket watercooling his Celeron" guys accidentally kicked out one of the hoses and went pumping water all over the floor. This was when an 8-port unmanaged 100 Mbit switch had just turned affordable to two early teens pooling their paper route savings together to buy one (finally! not three 10 Mbit hubs chained together!!), and of course it was lying on the floor in the middle of all the machines... The incident messed up all the LEDs and two of the ports but otherwise the switch kept working for years at my parents house. We did have a DHCP server - my old Macintosh Centris 660AV running IPNetRouter. It was even routing a 56K dialup connection (that went down whenever someone ordered a pizza) which was completely useless.
