I put the power cables in backwards on my first AT form factor motherboard (black wires outward instead of inward). When I hit the power switch I heard a crackling sound and the motherboard smoked a little. Strangely enough, when I turned the cables around and connected them correctly the pc POSTed and worked fine for years afterwards.
I blew up the PSU in my PC on my first attempt at overclocking. After which I made a thread on Anandtech claiming that I had fried my CPU. I read that thread again a year or so ago. What a blubbering idiot I was in those days...
