Zippy G1 600W PSU $350NZ RIP
I was about to prep my board for a dry ice run, as always I used an anti-static strap, I always attatch it to the back grill on my power supply with the power supply turned off at the wall, but plugged in so I am earthed. This time in my haste to get set up I did two fatal mistakes, first was to have it turned on at the wall and at the power supply itself, second was to clip it on with too much of the clasp inside the power supply. As I was holding the cord about to put it on my arm, the clasp inside the unit touched one of big silver heatsinks. And I suppose you could say it arched, made a loud pop and one hell of a spark!
Gigabyte 9800GX2 Vid Card $1000NZ RIP
Not much of a story to go along with this, as I'm still not 100% sure what went wrong.
Though, I had volt modded the card, flashed the bios, added heatsinks, mounted a LN2 pot, running it at -90 and was pushing the volts untill OVP would kick it.
But I'm sure that had nothing to do with it
Gigabyte EP45T Extreme Motherboard $450NZ RIP
Had a really bad bios flash, not even the back up bios chip works now. Dead board.
MSI P45D3 Platinum Motherboard RIP
Running the GPU on LN2, ice at the bottom of the card was melting into the PCI-e slot and filled it with water, soon after that it was a dead board.

All I can say is 2.7+ volts is fun, but also bad
