Watched a $200 motherboard fry because I forgot to check the standoffs...

Was swapping a board in my buddy's gaming rig last night in his garage and powered it up without verifying all the standoffs were in place. A tiny brass nub touched the back of the board and killed it instantly... has anyone else had a quick fix spiral into a total loss like that?

I heard that exact thing fried some kid's build on a forum last week.
