As most of you know I severely broke my leg last week. That distracted me from posting a recent mod injury. I was scraping some double sided tape out of my case with a steel pick when I slipped and punctured the top of my thumb. I drove that spike throught skin and tenden down to the bone. OUCH! That is probably the worst of the injuries from the G45 case mod. :pinch: Anyone else got any great mod injuries?

i just painted my pro mouse gold and during drying, some dust got inside.
i decided to remove the paint altogether with some paint thinner and cotton balls
earlier that day i had cut my hands at work with a box cutter, and some of the
paint thinner got inside....
paint thinner doesn't do a body good

Something similar happened to me, but not as painful as yours maestro.

Ever notice how when you're messing with a case, you get cuts all over your fingers and you have no clue where they came from? Yeah, that was me with a Mac Classic that I'm converting to a macquarium for my kid brother.

Then, comes some chemicals... yeah.... :ohmy:

I guess I'm gonna have to injur myself....I feel left out

if you do hurt yourselff, atleast do something cool in the process!

I've always wanted to take apart a monitor and shock myself in the process! :pinch:

Well lets see here. I've hurt myself plenty of times while trying to mod a PC.

Once I got shocked with a 68watt power supply from a xbox while trying to move my mod chip around.

Had a shelf fall on top of me when I was trying to fit a mobo into a a home built case. Don't know why the shelf fell over. I didn't even touch itlol.

A air compressed saw got caught on some metal and twisted the hell out of my hand.

Got burnt countless times with a sodier iron.

Steped on a pair of curved needle noses plyers when i went to go take a break from working on a laptop mod.

Stabed myself with a hobby knife when I got a kller shock from a car battery. That happen from when I installed a car alarm and a charger for my laptop in my car and I was triming the electrical tape with the hobby knife.

Almost lost three centermeters of my left thumb on a sharp ass chunck of metal from a computer case.

Heres my fav. Modifying a power cable from a boombox to work on my PS1. I was using a razor and sliped that caused the ravor to cut into my index and thumb about 1CM. One of my friends watch me do this and said "holy cow dude!" I just went and grabed a few bandaids and whet into the bathroom and I put on the bandaids. Well the blood wouldn't let the bandaids stick to my skin so I called blake to grab the elec tape. I put on a fresh bandaid then wraped the tape on. When I pulled the tape so it would break off blood squrted out onto the mirror. I thought to my self "I've had worse" meanwhile blake was puking his guts out.

i was trying to pry part of my beige g3 case apart... with my knife. :blink: yeah not too smart, i sliced my index finger to the bone. didn't want my parents to find out so i got some steri-strips put as small a band-aid as i could find to cover the steri-strip and left it at that...

macdeviant, you're just an accident waiting to happen!

Most recent one was breaking my toe
