In the early 2000s we had a mail server running on an old recycled Cyrix 5x86. When we had to move offices someone knocked down the wall next to the server but as it turned out the Ethernet cable was stapled to the wall and the machine went flying. Whatever, pack it up and move to the new office, plug it back in and it works fine.
About a year later we were rearranging some stuff and someone powered it off and picked it up to move it… and heard a rattle inside. Pop the cover off and the CPU cooler is sitting in the bottom of the case and the CPU is just sitting there naked. Had absolutely no problem running without the fan at all. We clipped it back on anyway just to be safe :)
