my pc at last spec costing is worth around 12,200 give or take 400 since i replaced some RAM but it has been running nonstop for ... hmmmm 5 weeks now.

i rum programs that require time to complete so i usually leave it on over night and when im at work.

get home at 5 play games till 9 then bed thats on nights i dont have training or lads catch up.

you just have to really really play with your system a bit and set up the correct cycles so it doesnt go KA-BOOOM!

i made the swap to liquid cooling in 2012 and havent looked back... honestly .... amazing and if you get a dedicated program run in virt you can adjust your temp for your cycles which allows the farms and sol's to adjust at a better rate.

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES

Was Skyping my best friend and was showing her the curry I made myself, I unfortunately had not strained the rice enough and when tilting it to the camera to show her, I spilled water all into my laptop... it broke. ;.;

Then I was fiddling around with a Coca-cola bottle and tipped it upside down because I thought the lid was on ( but it wasn't ) and ended up spilling it into my keyboard, a new keyboard was soon purchased.

That's why I never eat soup.

My girlfriend spilled wine onto my laptop keyboard a few weeks ago and the buttons are still sticky on the left side. The tab button stickiness actually made it nearly impossible to play Meepo for awhile :(

I spilled some pomegranate juice NEAR my computer a few days ago, but luckily it didn't get on anything but the rubber grip on the bottom. I can't wait to have a desktop...

Tell me about it... >.>

My laptop isn't that expensive, but in my situation it's a lot of money, about £400.
Broke it twice, luckily it was on warranty, so was repaired for free.
Once I dropped it and it was working fine until a few days later it didn't start up. Later I spilt some milkshake on the keyboard. Was sticky, but playable, just a few buttons didn't work. 4 days later the milk started to rot and it STANK like a dead mouse. The other day I was playing a game of Dota while pissed and got so pissed cuz of my team, I banged on the laptop and it started going dizzy with all the colours and noises, luckily didn't break. Never gonna do that again <.<
