No matter how ridiculous it may sound, my MiSTer died during a thunderstorm :)
Together with him, a lot of things still died, but he is the most pity of all :))

Not uncommon for power fluctuations during thunderstorms to assassinate computer equipment, it's why they sell surge protectors!

Out of curiosity, were you playing a golf game on it at the time? That'd be delightful irony!

I just tipped a glass of water which poured some of it exactly through the fan grill into the MiSTer. Free extra unplanned work \o/ Luckily it turned out not much of it made it inside, mostly on the memory module.
