My Worst Nightmare

I came home from giving my girlfriend a lift to work this morning and heard a strange noise from the living room. I ran in to discover water cascading from an on wall "Mr. Slim" indoor air conditioning unit onto my stereo. I naturally freaked, pulled my whole rack to the other side of the room and then surveyed the damage. Not too bad actually. I'm in the midst of an amp trade, and despite bemoaning the lack of an amp the night before, the empty bottom shelf is where most of the water fell. The only casualty if any may be my Chang Lightspeed 3200, which was fairly well doused. But all in all, I got lucky. What's the worst thing that ever happened to your system?

Warrenh,
I might upgrade my power source if I wasn't switching amps every 5 minutes! Good news, new amps arrive today, the Chang seems fine :), and the AC is fixed! I guess there's something to be said for keeping a positive attitude!

My girlfriend played Meat Loaf on my Epos 11s and they never sounded the same. But seriously, sorry to hear about the tragedy. Good luck.

Dude - Couple of weeks ago...I'm parked on the floor in front of my rack with the biasing meter plugged in...girlfriend upstairs taking a shower, and all of a sudden the ceiling starts pissing down on the floor not 2 feet from where I'm sitting, 2 feet in front of my left speaker, and 2 feet the other way from where a spare amp is sitting uncovered...thank goodness the waterworks didn't go on for more than several seconds, with no damage done (to the system that is - the ceiling is another story)...and that we have another shower on the other end of the house... :-)
