  One of the worst odors I've experienced was
created when lots of
 cat hair were toasted inside the power supply of a friend's
 computer.  The hairs finally got the fan stuck and temperature
 went up very quickly.  Argghhh..   I said to myself, "that's
 no magic smoke!" . 
I had a cockroach crawl into my then 3 day old Amiga 1000 & fry itself 
on a circuit board in the power supply - stunk to high hell - but at 
least the machine was self-debugging <grin>
