Last week a customer brought his gaming machine into the shop as a small fire had taken place inside the machine which turned out to be a molex/sata adaptor cable running to the DVD.
Over the years I've used loads of these cables but only when it's the only solution and you simply don't have any more sata connectors left on the PSU as this has happened before.
On this occasion though, the machine had been built elsewhere, but all the same, it could have been disastrous and only needed a new DVD.
Cleaning up the machine after his dad used the fire extinguisher on it, took 2 days of dismantling, cleaning and reassembly which was more fun than it sounds actually.
Here's some evidence.
