my old Samsung cell phone damn there phones are tuff i started with two packs of blackcats sandwiched between the screen and keypad and followed it up with a M70 no damage other then some powder burns lol so had to pull out the 1200fps air rifle to finish it off

after finally hitting the camera in the hinge apparently that was the weak point in the aluminum frame lol

Well someone's gotta get inactive members going again! lol

lol thats pretty awesome. wonder how big the hole was

The hole from the explosion shown was about 18 feet across and maybe 5 feet deep. The hole in the picture with me standing in it is MUCH bigger! Pictures really do it no justice. We destroyed a cache of a dozen or so artillery rounds and an estimated 2500lbs of homemade explosives stored in burlap sacks. The hole was approximately 45ft in diameter and 15-18 feet deep!! I've done a LOT of demo over the years and I can say that the size of the crater is larger than I would have expected, but I'm going with the assumption that the ground in that area (SW of Baghdad with irrigation canals all over the place) was exceptionally soft and easily pushed out of the way.

Going for a million but couldn't get there

I actually went into work one day at an unnamed Aerospace firm and there were some old things in storage that the engineers had to have destroyed, so I got to pile drive a hydraulic ram through about 4 units worth about $200,000 a pop. They were out of date by that time and had to be destoyed.

I wanted another one just so I could go for a cool million, but they only had 4

My wife about freaked when I came home from work and told her I had scrapped out 800K in parts till I told her I was supposed to hehe.

Oh too bad I didn't saw this before I smashed an old Samsung HDD
At least I got this pic of a 6200 that died on me.

 

[Kosay1991]

I wrecked my old laptop a couple of months ago, took a hammer to it and went to town best fun I've had in a while, too bad i didnt take pics

 

[tikithorsen]

I like this thread. >:-D

I had a Galaxy GeForce 8800GT die today. I had replaced the thermal paste several months ago with some cheap silicone base goop I had lying around.
My intention was to replace it, when I got round to buying some decent stuff. So, I forgot about the poor 8800GT when I finally did buy some and it burnt up while my son was gaming.

The destruction of old faithful will come to pass!

I thought I'd let the community have a say on how it is destroyed.

Tools of destruction:

• Lawn mower.
• Son.
• Hammer.
• Pliers.
• Boot.
• Line trimmer.
• Car.
• Stick.

That's all the options I can think of at the moment... Let me know how you think I should lay this former beast to rest.

 

[Bobnova]

Bake it back to life? That's what I'd do anyway.

 

[Kaspa]

Thanks Bobnova. I found the baking thread.
It seems no one wants to join me on my destructive tangent.
Baking it seems like a good idea.
