Best way to kill a computer

Yea the magnets will add a lot of weight to the case and do....nothing. Why not secretly put another 128 or 256 RAM in there? seems like the biggest bottleneck.

Why would a magnet make it explode? The worst it'd do is wipe the hard drive, thus meaning it might BSOD. Whoopee.

remove ** hard drive and then try it :)

I just did, old dead 1000w JBL Speaker magnet on a PII mobo, er it booted fine. The type of magnets you'd need to mess hdds up etc are not the kind usually found in the average home. I've seen PCs stuck to a metal object by a huge magnet for years with not one ill effect. Ever open a hdd? guess whats in there?

and theres what you do, remove HDD, unscrew, smear misc. substances over the disky bit.

remove CPU heatsink, extract CPU, proced to remove a pin or two, replace, replace head sink, replace HDD, and wait for them to turn it on in the morning

try and short it by connecting the motherboard to the case with some bits of metal.

cocktail sticks to prevent the PSU fan spinning *

and thats about all i can think of

*if it has one
 
If you can change the FSB, whack it up to some silly amount, hopefully it will have a hissy fit and not boot again
 
This thread is everything I hate about my job... Some numpty trying to kill a machine so they get a "better" one.

If you have that machine it must be for a reason? Companys low on cash, IT don't have anything better for you?


Meh, morning rants. ;)

Sensible but boring^

but anyway, use it as an opportunity to test the 'real-world' effects of static electricity on components - shuffle around in your slippers then touch random components until you hear a discharge.
