Digital Home Thoughts: Computer Upgrade Horror Stories

"We extended an offer to our loyal readers: Tell us about your best/worst PC upgrade story, and earn yourself two of the kick-ass, custom-made Maximum PC coins we featured on the cover of that issue. We had no idea what we were in for. Hundreds of submissions later, we emerged traumatized. Drained of all emotion. We laughed. We cried. We got angry. We felt your pain. And, in more than one instance, we literally had no idea what the hell you were talking about (but thanks for trying!)."

Those are some pretty neat little coins they minted up for prizes, I bet you'll see some popping up on ebay soon. Check out the horror stories, some are pretty funny. I don't really have any good ones myself. Back in the day I would build my own computers since you could save some significant money that way. Nowadays, I just don't find it worth my time for the aggravation and minimal cost savings.
