what components have you burnt in the past? burnt out as in like overclocked.

ATI radeon x700 PRO: overclocked the GPU and fried it.
ASUS P2 motherboard: burnt the memory by overclocking made long beeps from the PC speaker on bootup
Pentium 233mmx: o'clocked it way past the recommended safe overclock and burnt the socket and poof loads of smoke came out of the case.
 
Dunno if this counts but here you go:

A few years ago my cousin was trying to increase the voltage to his ram, but he connected it to the wrong voltage line and when he turned it on his computer lit on fire. Atleast we were able to save his video card.
