When I lived in Japan I had a case that had each little line from the usb seperate instead of the foolproof connector with the one pin hole filled. Well needless to say I loaded up melty blood ( a popular 2-d fighter and the time) plugged in my trusty logitech controller and suddenly smoke was everywhere. I looked in my case and saw the phenolic or whatever motherboard glowing cherry red about the size of a quarter around the usb header. It burnt a pinhole completely through my m/b but amazingly enough didn't do anything but destroy that one usb header.That m/b pushed an overclocked barton for about another year and a half after that with no problems whatsoever.
