When i was replacing my CPU fans and i thought i ripped the fan header off the motherboard, but it was just the plastic slidding off of it.

About 3k of new gear in a tech station + open beer on desk + curious 7 year old boy = HORROR!!!
It was my fault, I know, never leave liquid and a kid around equipment, but I did.
The good news is after about 24hrs of dry out time, everything was ok.

Mis-matching one stick of ram in one of my compaq Proliants (the computer was having serious problems... I thought the worse). Its easy too, none of the ram sticks were labled...
The issues from the mismatched ram stick... Sometimes I thought the scsi drives were crapping out on me, the OS was locking up every time you cut a loud fart... It was fun.

I like the snickers in the server one 
Mine would be the rack that tipped over and destroyed about $10K worth of equipment at an old job. I cried, I screamed, I chased the guy that unscrewed the straps from the wall with a pipe wrench...

Had my foot reclined on desk and acidently knocked a plug out of PSU. Then I put it back in and it wouldn't start up. Flipped switch off on PSU for a few seconds, and tried turning it back on and worked. I so didn't have money for a new PSU. I had only had it for a few months.
