So. Long story short, my box took a tumble down the stairs. =(

The damage: case as some dings, heatsink looks bent, one of the hdd's input thing is bent.

I get things put back together and power it on. Case lights, all the fans spin up, no lights on the ram sticks, and no POST. Looks like I have some parts to buy. Hopefully the drives are intact enough to fire up and copy files over.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Just need to vent.

I was on the brink of putting my case on the floor, opening the side panel and kicking everything to pieces today. I just love it when you urgently need a file and the damn pc decides it does not want to boot up properly for 45 minutes :<

Wow, that sucks.

BTW, what were you doing with your PC that caused it to fall down a flight of stairs?!

Taking it to my dad's house. I brought it in from my car, took two steps down and i fell flat on my ass/back. The case bounced off the railing, then my leg, two more bounces off the step and landed with a huge crash at the bottom. :(
