I've had more belts from monitors than I can remember, the heat sink for the mosfet on a Polo SMPSU is always a nice one at 350v DC.

Apart from that I ended up at hospital with metal in my eye that came from referbishing a rusty coin door.. I could feel something in my eye and I could actually see it poking out of my eye when I looked in the mirror, It was hurting as it was catching on my eyelid when I blinked. It took two visits to the hospital and the specialist to get it all out, aparently he could not only see the metal but also rust fragments in it.. It give a whole new meaning to having a rusty eye :lol:
