"Alright folks, I'm throwing this out there for all you sys admins out there who've had their fair share of crazy server incidents. My story: I was running a mining rig at home and a faulty GPU caused the entire thing to overheat, setting the motherboard on fire (yeah, literally spewed fire). Anyone else have a horror story like this?"

"LOL, that sounds like a wild ride! I once had to recover a server that got hit by a power surge after a lightning strike, and I found the CPU on the motherboard literally melted into the socket. Long story short, I had to RMA the whole rig"
