Err, What do you mean, "Warrenty Void"?

Just wondering if any of you guys have ever seriously modded something to death (literally) and then tried to claim on warrenty, or how what the quickest you have ever voided a warrenty is?

in the past few weeks i have cracked open a PSU and rewired it, after only using it twice for anout 5 mins a peice, ripped apart my brand new Geforce FX 5950 Ultra to take mesurements for watercooling it, watercooled my little brothers brand new store bought PC, ripped to bits my brand new Xaser 3 tower without even getting the really kewl glowing ThermalTake thing on the front to light up yet.

oh yeah, and i bought a AOpen and Gigabyte nForce 2 IGP motherboards and blew them both up before realising my PSU was faulty ( its fixed now )

One time a 5 pound worklamp on top of my monitor fell on my old 1500+, it bent the pins, gouged out a large part of the table (still have the multiple pin rips on the veneer) and then fell onto my foot. I bent about 40 pins straight and put it in, it started like nothing happened. AMDs are bullet proof. My foot still has the mark.
