    At least they were encased. Try doing that with Tantalums, they
    explode like detonators !

    I've even seen what happens to IC's in unfavourable conditions - blew
    a hole right out of the top.

    OTOH, making up a hard drive power supply extension lead splitter and
    getting the 12V and 5V lines transposed can lead to spectacular chip
    popping from the IDE controller board under the drive.

    Not that I ever did that.

    Or... plugging a lead into a 3.5" drive misplaced by one pin position
    (socket was fucked) so you could connect the 5v supply to earth makes
    the PSU go "bang" pretty fucking quick from switch on!

    Crappy 2 pin plug on the Canadian TJ? Wrong way round as luck would have
    it?
