How to fry a mobo, cpu, vid card, hard drive, etc?

[Spikey289]

Take the computer to the driving range and practice your driving on it! Use it as a tee for the ball! I really want to try the paint shaker and add a 12oz soda can with it!

You could do this, WHILST everything is actually in the case

Try using slugs tho if you have them :beer:

I had an old and crappy Soyo KT266 board which ended up strapped to my friend's Honda Accord with some network cable and an old TNT2 card. We called it the "flux capacitor" - we never got the time travel thing down though The stuff all fell off when we drove his car thru the car wash with it.

Make up some homemade napalm - lots of styrofoam (packing peanuts work great)+ gasoline + small amount of motor oil. Take the napalm, which should be in a gel-like form, and spread it around in the inside of the computer (or on the components if they are no longer in a case). Then poor some more gasoline on it all, light a match, throw it inside the computer, and then run like hell. (you probably won't have to run like hell since the thing won't explode unless you put too much gasoline on it)

Now TBH, you just worry me :disgust:

See how many jumpers you can wire together and flip it on...

Install MS beta software

1. Put every voltage and frequency setting in the BIOS to the max. See what melts first.
   Lap the CPU core with a belt sander.

I could go on forever...

lol, for some reason I found those two extremely funnny. Good stuff.

According to Symantec, that virus doesn't exist and is a total hoax, so I would imagine it couldn't destroy your computer, being as it doesn't even exist.

WORST VIRUS EVER ---CNN ANNOUNCED

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST !!

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft
as the most destructive ever! This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon
by McAfee and no vaccine has yet ! been developed. This virus simply
destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its
functioning are stored.

This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to
all contacts on your list with
the title "A Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer freezes so that
the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are
pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the
hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New
York, according to news broadcast by CNN. This alert was received by an
employee of Microsoft itself.

So don! 't open any mails ! with subject: "A Virtual Card for You."

As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender!!!

Ever tried watering your computer to see if it would grow? HOSE IT! Or if you want to stick strictly to electronics... well, that's no fun.

What exactly is a paint shaker?

 

[MarkHark]

Open your hard drive enclosure. If you don't happen to find a proper allen driver, hammer and axe will do just fine. Once open, get two very strong pliers and a lever (if necessary) and take those little magnets off of their stand. Brute force might prove necessary, as they may be superglued. Proceed with caution. Once they're off, use them to stick messages to your refrigerator door, but be EXTREMELY careful with your fingers...

Cut the ends off of all the power supply leads (not the one to the motherboard though) and solder them all over the surface of the motherboard. Hit the power button.

quality, i wanna see sum video of this

 

[Whizzy]

Take the power plug of the floppy drive and put it at the IDE connector of the harddisk... Lots of fun and sparks..

 

[shekondar]

See this site...

[LordMorpheus]

take all the fans out (or just disable them by sticking something in the blades or cutting the wires) and then cover every 'airhole' on the system with duct tape.

For the floppy drive, get a disc, carefully open it (so you can put it back together) and cover the magnetic disc with match powder, then use black fingernail polish over the powder. Stick it in and try to write to it and it will jet flames out of the slot. Way cool to see. or find out which of the wires that go from power supply to mobo carry the power to the proc, and then connect them to a car battery. I wonder what 12 volts would do to a processor . . . . (it booted up XP in one second and flamed out a second later!)

potato cannon it. like THIS!

Awesome picture.

hee heeee heeeeeee! www.spudcannon.org is a fun site.

Booted up XP in 1 second my arse.

What are you chattin about.

A good steel wool pad between the board and the case should get you started.

Or you could just screw the mobo directly to the mobo tray :beer:

That would probably make a nice sound

Now if i think back to the early days of school

Ah yes the VandeGraaff Generator.

Funny thing with a rubber belt and a metal bowl on the top.

I remember toying around with it and getting the shock of my life at the end of the lesson when i went to open the door with a metal handle :|

Of course i was insulated due to my rubber soled shoes :|

Oh well try one of those

Check my website - build yourself a Tesla Coil. The instructions there will give you a coil that, my physics teacher told me, will put out around 100,000 volts. I did this to a dead phone, and this to an AOL CD. Maybe this weekend (well, my weekend - Sunday and Monday) I might get the thing running, provided that the humidity is low; I'll try to get some pics of it with my digital camera. The only video camera I've got must be tethered to a PC, and I'm wary of having a direct wire to a PC going anywhere near the coil while it's on.
If the digital camera seems unfazed by the huge EM field that the Tesla Coil puts out, and the electricity it sends into the air (flourescent tubes a few feet away light up without any wires to them), I might try for a video of it.
I've got some dead hardware somewhere around here. Stay tuned.

Suggestions for you to destroy stuff...try switching a power supply to 220V maybe? I've heard that that's not good, but I really don't know what it'll do. Might destroy the power supply too. MrFiTTy suggested soldering - well you could solder the power supply's 5V and 12V lines (molex connectors) to several places around the motherboard. Just have a fire extinguisher and paramedics ready - don't know what this might do. I guess it'd depend on how well the power supply handles a short circuit.

What use do you have for that testa coil thing

Could you explain to me in a little detail what it does exactly?
