as the topic says, my tower fell off my desk onto the floor while I was out this evening. the drop is about 30". wife says the cat did it. regardless, I have it disassembled now and am looking it over for damage. the initial impact with the floor was on the upper front right corner and the case is now slightly twisted as a result. a metal angled piece that partially held the power supply in place seems bent now also from the force of the impact.

I can't find any physical damage on any of the components. naturally at this point I am most suspicious of the motherboard. thankfully the computer was off at the time so the hard discs weren't spinning. Can anyone recommend anything else to check before I put it back together and hope for the best? any tips or advice would be appreciated at this point

thanks!

back up and running, probably got lucky with that one :) tower is now secured to the desk with bolts as well so I can have some peace of mind about this not happening again
