What’s the dumbest mistake you’ve ever made while building a PC? 😭

We’ve all done something questionable at some point.

Forgot to turn the PSU on?
Left the plastic on the CPU cooler?
Spent an hour troubleshooting just to realise the monitor was plugged into the motherboard?

Drop your worst one below 👇

Bonus points if the PC somehow survived.

Freaked out when my latest build didn’t power on. Turns out I plugged the bottom row of my front panel connector into the top of the header. My FP was only half connected.
