    Do -NOT- leave sodas ANYWHERE near the exhaust vent...or explosives, combustible materials, or contents under pressure either for that matter.

    Let's see what else you've got.

    Don't stick anything valuable in that slot-loaded DVD burner - you might loose it forever ;)

    Rest it on the edge of your desk such that the slightest jolt will send it falling to its untimely doom...

    Although strangely enough the good people at Acer (or rather the repair centre Highpoint) were very good about it and even repaired it under warranty.
