How do you destroy anything electronic and expensive?

Let me play with it.

Casualties of war from this week:

Canon 5D MKII - Third time it's failed for the err 30 error and will be the third time Canon service has had it.
Asus P6T mobo - One failed and the replacement won't see SATA drives that the original would.
Xbox 360 - My friend's red ringed on Sunday at 12:14 PM. Mine was hooked up and red ringed at 12:16 PM.

All in all, I'd say it's been a very dangerous week for electronics.

Remind me not to lend you anything electronic... EVER!

I think Village Idiot is, in fact, Dr Manhattan

That would be cool. I'm partial to pants though.

Okay, I know this breaks from the way the flow has been in this thread, but to answer your original question, VI, I'm thinking...

1) Put said electronics in a microwave.
2) Vigorously shake an unopened can of beer,
3) Put said can of beer in microwave.
4) Don't open the beer.
5) Turn the microwave on high and RUN.

I love it when I get to go and take my turn breaking expensive things for fun and profit.

Will It Blend?

Awesome website dauber!

V.I., I wouldn't necessarily include the Xbox as part of your own casualty list, they seem to RROD if you look at them sideways....

I have never had a problem with my xbox and I have had it over a year. It was mostly due to the poor design of the old system, they put the disc and the disk drive right ontop of the chipset, so all the heat went striaght to it and made some problems.

I'd say attach some explosives and make a run for it.

Indeed, but it really is more fun breaking running hardware



I hide will it blend from my 8 year old though, she'd duplicate it!

It was a launch unit.

My new wrastlin' name is going to be The EMP.

Well when my friends laptop crashed for the final time and I got him 2 switch 2 a Mac, let's just say....

there was a range, a .9mm and a .40cal involved.
I always knew a windows laptop was good for something.
Target Practice, lol fun day.

I think an easier way would be let a jealous or angry g/f get a hold of said electronic.

Q: How do you destroy anything electronic and expensive?

A: Give it to my kid.

one way to ruin electronics is to taze them. i tazed my brand knew neon keyboard when i bought it with my 300,000 volt taze and it just shorted the whole thing out, never worked again. i got p!ssed at my PC (ew) so i tazed it, the whole thing went up in smoke. if anyone wants to borrow the tazer let me know, i got you
