God it makes me laugh when it's just something stupid you never check first

Think this thread has turned into a have you ever done something stupid and forgot to connect something properly

I would love to hear how many people have not done something properly or just forgot lol

How many times do I upgrade PC Parts?
Whenever a part fails, I replace it.

This is why my PC is a mix of old and new parts. 4 year old SATA hard drives, 6 and 9 year old IDE hard drives, an 8 year old sound card, an 18 month old CPU/RAM/mobo combination, a 2 year old PSU, a 17 year old case, and so on.
