If you know anything about fixing computer problems you can easily make way more than at any crappy job if you market yourself right. Spread the word in your neighborhood, stick fliers in mailboxes, or tell your parents to tell their friends.
You'd be surprised at a few things:
1) how many people mess up their computers
2) how many peopel are willing to pay a lot to get their computers working
3) how ridiculous the geeksquad prices are
4) how much money YOU can make doing something you like
If you're really good you can fix the problems quickly and impress the people that hire you. Then they will tell their friends and blah blah blah... and pretty soon you'll say screw school and hire a few people to work with you. Then you profit and buy yourself a new computer.

get a job, tell your dad to fill out some forms so you can work there. and you should be set. Its much better to earn what you want.
LOL, I bought one of those. 🙂 Actually not a bad machine for $400CDN (they were going in the US for < $200 after rebate for a while)... it's a Sempron 3400+ (2.0GHz) on an ASUS board w/ ATI Xpress 200 chipset, 256MB, CD/DVD-ROM and 100GB SATA. I added a spare 485W Enermax NoiseTaker, a spare 512MB DDR400 DIMM (Corsair) and a new Sapphire X1600XT. This little machine hums along quite nicely... extremely stable.

Anyone that would intentionally destroy a computer as decent as OP doesn't deserve any electronic device, let alone a computer. It is not a morality lesson so much as a life/respect lesson. Good job showing your age though...
When did my age come into this discussion??? :disgust: OP requested a solution for destroying his computer, so I gave him one. I didn't give him a morality lesson. If a boss tasks a subordinate to find solutions to a problem, it is the subordinant's job to provide solutions....an additional morality lesson would probably get him fired.
I didn't see the OP asking for a "life/respect" lesson either...but I guess there are those who just cannot resist opening their piehole and giving one, eh?...:disgust:
OP...dumping a handful of small metal shaving onto the powered motherboard should do the trick as well...:evil:
or don't use thermal grease on the processor...:evil:
Meh. It's a poodle. I'll buy the ammo.

As responsible human beings one must give advice thats socially productive, especially since this is a public forum. Businesses are not public forums. They employ on the basis of making profits, not maintaining morality or oftentimes respect of the law. There is no gain in helping someone do something bad for himself and for others.
Hey your comp is good! The cpu is higly overclockable. Still 1800+ runs almost any game.
The only thing that sucks is your graphicscard. Maybe you also 'need' 256 Mb ram too.
Save and buy a graphicscard, oc the cpu and your fine, brat.
Dont belive these "i have tons of money to burn on the latest parts"-guys that buy buy buy!
