Microsoft IE 3.0 Optical Mouse Left click started skipping after 6-8 Months military service... Survived the glorious days of my CSS startup days... Everytime i was flancked my mouse got a bashing...

Last year 4 HDDs dies on me..

IBM 30GB died when I moved its slot in cabinet after 2 years of use - out of warranty

IBM 120GB died after 18 months - "OK at night dead in the morning" syndrome. Out of warranty.

2 x 120GB Maxtors died with the "OK at night dead in the morning syndrome" both in warranty and both replaced with no questions asked. GREAT replacement service.

IBM keyboard died after I dropped a heavy spanner on it from a height of 5 feet. :( My most prized hardware possesion - GONE.

Logitech MX 500 mouse died last month after about 1 year - left click button not clicking anymore - smashed it with a Sledgehammer - YES I did. :@

MS Explorer 3 mouse left button does a double click with single press from day I got it - on seeing an adv from MS about no questions asked replacements sent it to them and they said mouse repaired and returned !!! .... and problem still persists. Never again MS mouse !!!!

2 MS Natural keyboards - keys get very difficult to press after about 1.5 years of use. Need a sledgehammer to press keys. :@ Now using my third MS Natural keyboard.

Bad experience with Viewsonic Monitors - they die after 2 years - just after warranty gets over. Seen at least 5 of them doing this.

NEVER had a CPU or Display card die on me ever since I had my first Comp in 1983 - simply because I dont overclock :)
 
intel 810e original motherboard, 256Mb SD ram, 20Gb HDD, Intex 2.1 Speakers...... these are the components in my old computer all of these died after 1 yr so no warranty:( had to replace all.
