The Hardware Destruction Thread

[asusradeon]

o damn, i had a nice old lappy that i destroyed with hammer, but didn't take pics

 

[Colton H]

Over the 4th of taped some m80's to my old HDD that like fried the first week I got it. I might upload pics later. It was fun

 

[Mathersalan]

Since I am throwing away my old Rosewill Tu155 case I thought I would give it a good and burn it while I was in the process burning trash. For all you firefighters this was a control burn next to a burning pile a trash nothing flammable around it


Before:

During.

After

And off it goes in the back of my gator XUV to the garbage dump.

 

[Karnal]

Hmm, never noticed this thread before, im sure I can chase down something that needs destroyed.

 

[EmAn]

ok well here is mine

120mb hdd from the windows 3.1 era





and yes my dad TOLD me to do this and if you look at the chunk of concrete missing from the first picture

i did that

 

[WheaT]

Im going to reserve this space. In the next couple of days I will be shooting an old non-working ipod and HD with a buddy of mines M4 rifle. Pics and maybe a vid incoming ...

 

[EmAn]

I have another dead harddrive... and a dead cd-writer and a couple of video cards what would you all like to see?

Smashed up?
Knocked out of the park?
Axe+Lighter?
Potato Cannon?
Paintball Gun?
BB-Gun?
Blown up?
Dropped off of the side of a football stadium?
Thermite? (possible but unlikely)

just pick something and ill see what i can do!

Fire is boring now. Smashing with a hammer. To easy.. Shooting it with sissy projectiles is blah.

Sending it into orbit sounds interesting.

so are you either saying smashed out of the park or dropped off of a football stadium?

and if you were talking about rockets i dont have mine any more but we do have a rocketry club at school!

Agreed.

Show us a cool hardware tantrum bro. Just be careful and plan it out so it works/looks good. Do something no one here has done yet. Knock our socks off. Time to get creative!


If you take a vid and need hosting. I will host the video(s) for you.

 

[Zoris]

You are a bloody bunch of oddities. All of you.

Nuclear reactions are the way to go.

 

[EmAn]

ill try to do the best i can and i am mulling a few more ideas around in my head

maybe ill throw something in an old microwave mixed with some GP...

i need to get a camera before i do this so i can take videos

 

[JDXNC]

Well theres the problem... the socket is missing!

 

[SolidxSnake]

LMFAO JDXNC

 

[curtis1552]

I agree with no more sissy projectiles, but it is possible that I might be able to shoot an old HDD with a .50 cal rifle.
However, it may take a while for me to do this; next spring cause it's getting too cold, and I need to have the free time to go shooting at the range. (and have my father go with me, its his .50)
Should I really consider this?

 

[EmAn]

well i have a lot more hardware but i still need to get a camera but i may be able to use my buddies camera

i am thinking a potato cannon into a brick wall

 

[WonderingSoul]

Glad to see this thread is still alive. I had some fun a few weekends ago with a nightmare of an old SOYO P4 mobo. I'll hopefully get the pics up tonight; but lets just say it had an encounter with a Mossberg 500 12Gauge.

Here's the carnage. I unloaded about 10 shots into the board with bird shot.

 

[curtis1552]

Highly amusing WonderingSoul.

At what distance were you shooting at? - possibly about 5-8 feet?


I've got another idea for destruction, but I need help with it; does anyone know of a good acid (that you might also be able to but) that would eat every part of the motherboard except for the metal?
