Ever felt like killing your computer?

[Raumiel Hellilenda]

I would throw it out the window. Considering that I live on the third floor and my school lessons take place on the fifth floor most of the time, it would be quite a drop. I did threaten my computer with that out loud once.

Heh... well.. me and my friends decided to do something similar to the destruction you have described. It was cleanup week; a bi-annually event where each household would go through all the trash in their house and leave unwanted things on their front lawns. People would run around and go through old junk (one man's junk is another man's treasure sort of deal). Me and my mates rounded up old computers, a VCR player, a fan, and several old tv screens and computer monitors. We then proceeded to throw them off of a 2nd storey carpark. The destruction of things exploding was absolutely delightful.

Delightful until we got caught by the police and were each fined $375 for "aggrivated littering". Hrmm... seems like I've been fined for waaay too many things. Gotta start learning how NOT to get caught

Actually, Sacrifice, the game, had a competition a few years back before it was released. People were supposed to think up a way to sacrifice his/her computer, and the dude with the best sacrifice idea won an Alienware monster(was a monster back then), and the first and second runnerups got Sacrifice games premium packages. I was 5th. Grr!!!
Anyway, my idea was throwing off the PC from a helicopter tied with very thin metal strands so that the strands would cut it in peices before melting in the lava of the Volcano beneath, and it would have been a sacrifice to Kossuth(yes, the one). Too bad I was only 5th...

Not really. I have thought about bringing it flowers occasionally, but i keep ending up feeding them to my neighbour's pony.

Good ideas from everyone thus far, I'm glad over people share my desire to hurl them from great heights...

I'm sure if i rewired the power supply cables it would work ok, and removed the front so you can put a disc in it..... actually it's still full of crc, smells of burnt, and got completly wet.... maybe i washed it.
Well now... that's a challange, i'll try to get it working.

Oh yes, of the many things go on in my twisted, dark mind - I have witheld the feelings of pain that my computer has caused me.

After installing a brand spanking new, graphics card, I am sad to find that everytime I start up my computer, the main fan located on the card, scrapes against a metal piece that makes up my ethernet hardware. It takes either five minutes or a good smack for it to cease.

DO YOU KNOW HOW ANNOYING THAT IS? 0.o
