If you've been building or fixing PCs for a while, then you'll have probably seen, heard of and maybe perpetrated some degree of dreadful PC hardware horror. That accidental slip of the screwdriver into the CPU pins, a misguided and ill-informed attempt at water-cooling, or a case mod based primarily on duct-tape and spray paint; we've been there, and we feel your pain/shame.
At the time they can be cringe-worthy and heart breaking, or they may just make you want to rage-quit life, but now you can cash in on your traumatic PC building and fixing experiences. We want to see your hardware horrors, from burnt-out GPUs to bug-infested PSUs and beyond.
Up for grabs for the two hardware horrors we judge to be the most heartbreaking, horrifying or hideous is a KFA² GTX 460 1GB graphics card, ideal for rebuilding your shattered dreams as well as your system.
To enter, you can either post your photos of your horror hardware in the comment thread below, complete with an accompanying description, or, if you prefer, email them to us at harry.butler@bit-tech.net.
Winners will be announced on 7 April. Good luck, and please remember to only enter photos that you've taken yourself, and which include hardware that you have permission to photograph.
